Let it be all the best.
Here are some small businesses that exist on a major street near me:

A store that sells nothing but pillows (like throw pillows for your couch)

A store that only sells many types those weird Japanese two toe socks

A religious items store in which every item is covered in dust

A store that sells only socks (this one seems to do okay)

Multiple cell/computer/phone case/repair shops that are dirty and disorganized

All of these places never have any customers. So either they are fronts or someone's life savings is being burned away day after day


I have long thought about starting my own business and given that these places have been open for years it can't be that hard, right?

That's more of a corporate thing these days, imo. After firing the people who did two of those jobs, and then just not hiring anyone new.

No, but he had short-hair. Pretty close.

We smoked a ton of weed together, though, and he was a nice enough of a guy.

We have the "sock outlet" near me. All socks, as far as the eye can see. Need socks? They got it! Need shoes? gently caress you, only socks.


There's also the mysterious seemingly no-customers ever computer store that's been in the same place for at least like 10+ years.

What kind of glass items? Like decorative chintzy poo poo?

Can you imagine being at Thanksgiving or whatever when Aunt Janine announces proudly she's going to spend her inheritance/life savings to pursue her dream of selling ugly blown glass poo poo and the whole family just has to sit there smiling and nodding and congratulating her while stifling the urge to ask her what the exact market she's trying to sell to

There was a very depressing computer store near my old place that sold cheap knockoff printer ink. They also had shrink wrapped, retail box computer parts from the late 90's still on the shelves. Think 40x CDROM drives, ATI All-in-Wonder cards, Socket 370 motherboards... I guess they couldn't bear to dispose of perfectly good product they bought almost 20 years ago.

I just assume it was a front for jihadi money laundering.

This could work if they're in the business district of a large city.
