I've bounced around from one minimum wage job to another, never really finding anything that worked. I tired going to college and working from home, still no luck. I've now found a really good job with possible future potential, but knowing my past...the future has no guarantees! There is a skatepark about a block away and everyday is packed with people skating and just hanging out. I wear skate clothes (wasn't too good at actually skating) and I've found that besides Pac Sun and Zumiez (which don't have that great of clothes anyways) your out of luck when searching for skate clothes! I figure, with the packed skatepark and the need for good skate clothes and accessories...a skate shop would be a great idea!! Did I mention all this takes place on an island! So basically a long story short...I'd start with a retail website and then if that became successful, I'd move into a retail location!
