I have a retail business & need to sell what’s left of my inventory! (Going out of business)I’ve been trying to find the right search words that will give me direction to a local buyer of closeout inventory! I always end up w/ retail business as in wal-mart k-mart ect. which is not what i need & does not buy inventory from craft & gift shops that have gone out of business! So if anyone can give me the right search words to put me in the right direction I’d be very grateful! thank you!

WHEN IN ROME asked:


I’m interested in opening an adult store mainly geared towards women. I’ve been to quite a few shops with my husband and most of these places seem very dirty and tend to make a person feel uncomfortable. Maybe it’s just me but i have a few girlfriends who feel the same way. So if anyone has any suggestions or knows how i can start this can you let me know.

I know i need seed money…how much would i be looking at?

i know i need retail space?

how would i get the adult supplies…videos…toys..etc?

Linoleum won’t work because of metal chips. We can’t use painted concrete because it’s on a second floor. We are considering using some type of rubber flooring like is often used in gyms and retail establishments.

Any ideas?
