Starting a game store (General questions)

That is very nice. I think that even if I ate a bunch of them, if I sold only half of them I'd be making money.

So, other than those, what other stuff would be cheap but have a good profit margin?

Talk to the local pizza shop and cut a deal with them. While you are selling sodas and peppermint patties and chips, they provide lunches. Make it easy for your players to buy. Something like:

$5/6/7/8 (depending on local pricing) person gets them half a pizza and a small order of fries/rings/side salad. You promise the pizza place at least 5 orders like this a week and they cut you in for 20% or something.

Businesses like cash flow they can count on. And are overjoyed when the constant influx is even higher on Tourneyment weeks and whatnot. Your players are happy because they don't have to take time out of the game to go find food.

This can translate into discount coupons at the local food court if you're in a mall, etc. Staying in business is all about creative ways to make more money.

That seems like a great idea... especially since the closest pizza place is very close. And I think it is a family owned place as well, so they are more likely to do something
