Investment Opportunity - might open a shop
I'm thinking that a place like Myrtle Beach SC needs a shop that sells things like T-shirts and beach towels!
I'm thinking that there i$ money to be made. Anybody want to come in on it with me?

Okay, here's the deal, put $47 in unmarked bills and send it to me...quick...before somebody else does.
You want to get in while the stock options are being offered!

Bucko, you ARE joking, right?
If you're serious, methinks some SERIOUS research is needed-I'm in the t-shirt biz, and there's TONS of t-shirt traps in Myrtle Beach (like most resorts), and I can tell ya, the biz is cut-throat at the best of times (and these still ain't the best of times). Make sure you've got plenty of cash to fall back on, 'cuz the first several months are going to be the sounds of crickets chirping, not cash registers ringing, and you still gotta eat... as it is in all startup businesses.

If you are serious then do the following:
Canvas the existing market and see what they are selling and pricing. Determine the overhead - Location, location, location is expensive Source your suppliers - China comes to mind as the cheapest for imports if the quantities are large enough. Figure start up costs - you know licenses, permits, taxes, saleries, insurance, utilities, etc. Then put a business plan together and go get a small business loan. They will let you know if it has a chance for them to make money. Or borrow from a relative known as an Angel in start ups. Thousands of good ideas, very few successes. At best you might make a living. |

Not that I would want to talk you out of such a moneymaking idea, how about getting to the 21st century? If it is people in Myrtle Beach, it is people on vacation. Open a quickie store that has supplies for cell phones, laptops, digital cameras, storage devices, carrying cases and a sublimation printer to print on t-shirts. Have the ability to print their own images on 1 t-shirt or 20. Any laptop services would be great, maybe the ability to remove sand from a personal video player!
I had a silkscreen and embroidery business. The first couple of years my partner and I worked 6 days a week up to 14 hours a day. There were more than several times that there was no paychecks for us.

If you're going to be working at the beach... you might be wise to go for something in the service industry. I'm thinking the Buckocaster is ready-made for a Suntan Lotion Application Expert position. You know, there are just some places those girls just can't reach.

Will you also sell weather rocks? The ones that say things like, "If it's wet, it's raining?" I remember those in the corner or every roadside stop in the south.
OK, maybe if you sell Engrish T-Shirts: |

How about kiosks that sell Baked Potatoes?
I thought about little shacks that develop film...but who uses film anymore? As advised, we are looking for something 21st Century! Potatoes are much healthier than burgers...well at least burgers other than White Castles. Hard to beat a good Slider. Wish I had come up with that idea...but once again somebody beat me to it. I will make my 1st million somehow...and some lucky TDPRI member MAY get to join me.

There's a ton of 99 cent stores.
In this economy, I am planning on opening a 1 cent store. I'll sell single band aids, a paper plate, half a chocolate chip cookie etc. And laugh all the way to the bank.
