New Business

Private Joker

Hey Folks! hopefully someone in boards can help me, I'm lookin to open up a new game shop in a town that desperately needs one.

Basically what i need is names of suppliers and if there are any franchises out there that are available, also just as an idea does anyone know what a new release game costs wholesale.

As you can tell i'm a bit lost, a friend of mine wants to come in with me in it he already has his own business so hopefully he'll know more than me. And heh! who knows maybe if it gets up and running, 10% discount for all existing boards.ie members

I think Beaumex are the sold distributors of a lot of console games in Ireland.
It does sound like you're a bit lost to be honest.
I'd advice going to Enterprise Ireland or some other Government agency about setting up your own company first - they'll be able to give you more info / advice and possibly grants.
Best of luck!

Go direct to source, lik sang and play asia do deals for mass sales.


And getting in import games gives you 1 up on the other + you can sell cheaper then them.

BUT lease costs of a bin in city centre are huge so you may fall down there.
