There may be plenty of options for putting up a shop. For me, given the chance to put up my own shop, I'm choosing between a coffee shop or a computer shop. Much of us know how in demand technologies and computer are nowadays so I think computer shops are still profitable. Likewise, I want a coffee shop, because most of the time, I hang out in these coffee parlors and I wish that someday, I can put up a coffee shop I can call mine. How about you, what shop do you like to own?

I would love to have a store in anything related to fashion, accessories and stuff like that. A small boutique with all my favorite brands would be ideal, but other types of store would work too!

If I could do anything I wanted for a living I would like to own or operate a lounge. So would my daughter. How we came up with this idea is because two blocks from where we live is a lounge in a motel. The place is a dive. It could use a face lift and update on everything in it.
If would, my daughter and I, could run it we would update the pool tables and have tournaments to draw people in. We would change the whole atmosphere to make it more modern. We would add dart boards and have tournaments for that as well. We would start up crib tournaments and texas hold-em card tournaments.
We would have blues and rock bands on Friday and Saturday nights and have jam sessions on Sundays, where anyone can come and jam with each other. We would have drink specials and food specials on certain days. There is a restaurant upstairs but they serve horrible food, we've tried them a few times and didn't like them.
So much we could do to make a success out of a lounge bar. I just wish I had the money to back up my buying a lounge like that.

If I had won a lottery or any sweepstakes, I would like to own my own computer shop. I would like to have all the materials and equipment that I need in order to fix any computer. I would also be happy to own a personalized gift shop for my creative benefit.

We have a place in out town that combined coffee and computers, (internet cafe) along with laundromat and video store. It is also used for other things like local talent concerts and things that do with the college. I have always wanted to go to one of the live shows. Just never happens when I have time. The owner is making a killing. Not the only coffee shop, but the only place that combines all these activities. I always wanted a small restaraunt, not a chain. Something that a person could show their talent with cooking and baking but not be overwhelmed with being a real popular place to be. Or even having a restaraunt on wheels. Daily specials that cater to the factory workers that don't have time to go get lunch someplace and don't like eating out of a vending machine.

Someday I would really like to own an arts and crafts shop where I could sell little do it yourself kits on paintings, crocheting, cross-stitch, coloring by numbers. Patrons can buy materials for their crafts like needles, yarns, ribbons, threads, piece of cloths, etc. I would also like to be able make made-to-order give-aways for different occasions. My neighbor is into this kind of business and I know someday I can do it too.
Another shop I would Like to own is a computer shop. This would be for my nephew, he is now third year High School and dreaming of owning one. He is into computers and will be taking up Computer Science in college.

Thats certainly looks good to own a coffee shop, i have a renter, he is a commerce graduate, could not get a good job, now he has started a shop near the bus stand, he sells tea, coffe and biscuits, the sale is so good, he spends hardly one rupee for a cup but sells them at six rupees
His profit is more than 300 rupees per day on the average..
Thanks for sharing.
Welcome always.
Cheers.

What shop would I own? Well, I would I like to own either chain of book shop or chain of restaurant. Also the book shop can have a bistro in the premises. This is a noble business as book provides knowledge to the hungry, hungry for ideas and knowledge. Restaurant provides food for the hungry too. In future if you need food contact me. I may feed you. Ha, ha, ha. lol.

This has got me thinking and it's the type of thing I will probably change my mind on...but anyway, at the moment the shop I would most like to own would be (either) a jewellers or a Travel Agents..for the simple reason that most people coming into those establishments are generally in a good mood. Picking wedding or engagement rings or booking a holiday...maybe all in the same day!
Having thought about it further...why not combine the two! How unique is that?!

Internet cafe is better. There will be a space for the coffee shop and a space for my computer rentals.

I think Computer shop and Coffee shop or I can put this two together! So those who would like to have coffee and chat with friends can stay there while there will be a space for the computer rentals.

I own 3 shops selling gift, beautiful cups and other houseware, gardening and home decor accessorries, a lot of pretty stuffs mixed in my shops.I really love them. I am trying to sell the stuffs on internet to global customers now.
But I really like to own a coffee shop playing Jazz music, some vogue and travel books for customer to read. I will decorate the coffee shop in vintage style and grow as many flowers as possible to embellish the shop.
