    Hi Jim,

    It might seem obvious but i would imagine the first thing would be to scout areas/towns that are not already saturated with barbers. in Greystones for instance there used to be only one barbers in operation for a period of years, there is now 4 at last count :eek:

    Also look at the footfall going past the shop... Sit for a while outside the premises and watch how many people going past... If its a male barbers I imagine convenience and chance will be how you will be getting a lot of your customers initially.

    I know it sounds obvious but its something that a friend recently ignored in setting up a retail outlet...
