How to make money as an LHS owner

[nachoman]

Sound advice in theory. My boys and I went into a local RC shop to see what they had. Once inside, we noticed that he had a multiple lane track setup for racing with car rentals available. We rented several and now my boys each want cars of their own.

Location should be a no brainer if you want to see good traffic flow. How succesful were you at finding Coronado scale hobbies for the first time? I drove past it twice before I finally found it.

On a local note, have you been to the new location of An Affair with Trains up on Deer Valley? And, did you know The Freight Yard shut down?

I don't think the guys at Coronado really want to make money. I see their "store" as more of an extension of their own hobby. But I agree, the place is probably more difficult to find than a prohibition era speakeasy. I had never been to the freight yard, but I am glad you told me they shut down, because I had been meaning to head up that way just for the heck of it. I havent been to An affair with Trains since they moved. Frankly, I thought the store was going downhill before they moved - and I really have no desire to drive that much further only to be disappointed again. The Hobby Bench at 19th and Northern carries more than they do, and they are primarily an r/c and craft supply store.
