Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Wow, there is so much information and motivation on this forum, it`s fantastic. This is my first post here, but not my first visit. I have been reading the forum for quite some time with great interest. I would like to start a retail kitchenware store, but not sure how to go about it. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. I am signed up to take a class by my local SBDC on business plans etc. 

Thank you so much in advance for any help that can be offered.

 

I believe the Business Plan is the first plan of action. Have you ever worked in this field before? If not, it is best to learn more about the different kitchen items, and the benefits. If this is going to a specialty store, you should have a retail sales training book too. There is much more to go over.

Thank you for the response. I have worked in retail before, not in management.  I am in management currently, in the restaurant business. The retail training book you mention, is there a specific one I should look into?  Oh, yes I do believe there will be much to go over, this is why I took the plunge and posted here on this forum.

Thanks again.
