Here’s all the business I’m currently looking at to start?
1.Arcade
2.Game Store
3.Used Appliances store
Out of these which one is the best to get in and that I can make good money from?
FYI.
Their is a lot of kids and soo many schools around here if it helps providing me some real information?
THANKS…..
Arcade’s are dead. Have been for close to 10 years. Why? Because the home consoles have become so powerful, arcade machines cannot compete for that same dollar. Why pay 75 cents to play one 3 minute game when you can play anyone around the world from your home. Online gaming has absolutely killed the arcade.
As for a video game store, the minute you open your small, independent shop, Gamestop will move in across the street and run you out of business. I do not mean to be a cynic, I have just see it happen time and time again.
None of the three choices would bring in a profit for 2-3 years. Not being cynical, just being realistic.
