    Default Would People be Interested in a Canadian Based Cube Store?

    Hello Everybody!

    Lately I've been looking around for jobs and I thought, "Cube store!". So now I'm looking into starting an online cube store based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

    I was just wondering if there would be any demand for a Canadian cube shop as the only one I know of is the E3CubeStore branch. Please let me know if you think this is a good idea.

    Thanks,
    Eric

    Somebody just made a thread asking if there was a Canadian store. There isn't really one solely based on canada as far as I know. It's always a great idea to expand cube stores.

    Alright thanks. I would appreciate it if more people left there opinions even if they think it's a dumb idea. I would like to find a profit margin that I could use to find numbers.

    I've been thinking that this might not be the right section for this thread. Mods if you think it would get more reply's in another section then could you please move it.

    Yes, I still need a clock, megaminx, 5-7 cubes to complete my collection of official puzzles. If you would sell those, I would order all of them, depending on my money/if they are generally recommended brands or not.
    Before you start one, make sure you do a little bit of research as to which brands/cubes/puzzles are most in demand so that you don't have puzzles lying around that nobody will buy.

    I know, thats sort of what this thread was for. To see if people would want to order and what they would want to order.

    I'm sure everybody is going to say they want a Canadian-based store. They have nothing to lose.

    As a potential shop owner, though, make sure you weigh your options, do research on the market and figure out your competition.
