Start Local Store

[Tracy211]

I am very new to the whole e ciggarette lingo. In fact I ordered my first one yesterday and haven't even got it in the mail yet. Even so, I am so EXCITED about the idea of these products. I can see that vapor is really taking off. (haha) I found it hard to decide what to get and thought to myself, "It would be nice if there was a store around here, where you could go and actually see and ask questions about different brands, modds, juice ect...."
So my question is..."Has anyone started a local store in their area? If so, How is it doing and could you give me any advice about looking into starting one of my own? Or even just a place to start, to look into it? Do you have to have a tabacco license for instance? Even though it isn't tabacco. But you know how greedy the government is. LOL

I live close to two vendors with BnM's, one who sells only juice and the other who sells juice and hardware. I've discussed the business climate with them on several occasions. Both said that the vast majority of their business comes from online sales. The only reason they opened a storefront was because they had the available space to do so. However, since a very small percentage of their business is walk-in they were not clear if it was worth the effort. They both also said that if business were dependent upon the BnM they could not afford to operate. So far I don't believe a tobacco license is required, however that may change in the future.
