Owning my own Pet Store

[beanersmysav]

For the past few years I've been thinking about opening up my own pet store, and I'm not getting any younger or further ahead in life, and I'm not very good at working under other people, so my own business is probably my best solution. However I was hoping someone could answer a few questions I've got about the starting up process, I've got a few questions/concerns, as well as just needing extra oppinions and advice. It will be located in Upstate New York however I'll take advice from any area pet store owner/ former owner. Either reply here with your contact info email or w/e you prefer or you can email me at dsreptiles@hotmail.com
Thanks,
