pawn shoppe heart

Ya know, now I have a new idea for a retail clothing store. A small one. A boutique of sorts. I think the fact that when I was walking around downtown walnut creek with Joshua we passed by these little skinny chick boutique shops made me think about it.

Of course my store wouldn’t be for just skinny chicks, it’d have plus-size stuff that can’t find in the mall, the whole theme of the store would be “clothes that you can’t find in a mall”. I kinda stole that from JANE magazine but it’s a great slogan to use for marketing. And there would also be cute kids clothes that you can find everywhere. Like that company that makes that trashtalker shirt I got for Quincy. More stuff like that. I think it would actually do well in Antioch, if it’s in a high foot traffic area, like that new shopping area on Lone Tree. I wouldn’t need a huge space. I would love to put it downtown somwhere ’cause its way cheap but I want people to actually stop by. Ugh. :)

Ack, that makes me think of that AWESOME space in downtown Pittsburg. I would totally buy all of that space, I think it was like 24,000 sq. ft. for like 30 cents a sq. ft. rent or buy. Ugh. That’d be so awesome. I could live there and run my businesses out of it. But at any rate, I’m going to do a lot of research on the costs involved in running a retail shop. It’s something to do, and an excuse to buy more business related books. :)

So another work day comes to a close. Yay! Anywhoo… I’m off to get my hair done and try to keep my mind off things that are annoying to think about right now.
