    Don't know how successful it will be, up here in Limerick the last comic book store closed a few years back...mainly because they couldn't compete with Eason's, O'Mahony's and of course the internet...

    Now if you have some unique selling point, I'd like to hear it, also in Kerry you will have a smaller population than that of Limerick I'm sure.

    I have you done up a business plan, carried out all the usual analysis and research?

    Sorry if I'm coming across as negative, but when it comes to business you need to make sure you've done everything to ensure success

    What is your profit margin on the comics, will you be offering any other products/services?

    What kind of research have you done? What analysis have you carried out?

    Where in Kerry are you located, will you be running a postal service and what kind of prices would you be looking at in comparison to the next nearest store..... ehm, Other realms in cork.

    Would've taught a better store in Limerick would be better if it could serve the colleges too, might seem stupid but if they had a shop in town and a stall in UL bet it would be a money spinner. Best of luck in kerry but

    Hey man. Just opened a store herein Athlone. Feel free to shoot me an email (Marto@roswellcomics.net) with any questions. Be warned, It's a LOT of hard work, A LOT of things will go wrong and it is VERY risky.
