I’ve struggled with a similar idea. One thing you have going for you is that you don’t actually have to make money. You can buy your retail location with cash and just cover the daily expenses without covering real estate costs which are a major piece. The problem with these businesses is that you actually have to be there at the times it’s open which can cut into your other life stuff unnecessarily. One way you can compensate is to overstuff and pay above market for talent but still you will occasionally have to deal with issues like staff quitting during a vacation or some other major life disruption annoyance that small businesses have to live with.
