Have you considered selling your teenage merchandise on-line before you set up a brick and mortar location? I just keep thinking about the monthly lease you have to cover before you even start to enjoy your profits. With an on-line business, you would avoid that monthly expense. There are other expenses involved but a lot less than that $2500 and up lease you will need to cover.

If your biz goes big on-line, then you can think about opening up a storefront. I just think in today's market, eCommerce is the way to go. You can get customers from around the world.
