I am thinking of opening a shop in my area. The closest one to me is an hour away. My company is downsizing so I am really wondering if I could make this happen. Does any one hear have some experience trying something like this?
Need advice for LHBS

I don't want to rain on your parade, but now is a very bad time to try and open a new brew shop.
The hop shortage has resulted in many hop distributors putting a freeze on new contracts, there is no way you could compete with the internet business. A lot of well-established brew shops are starting to feel the pinch because they just can't get the product for their customers. If I were you I'd wait until the hop situation improves before even thinking about opening a shop.

Don't worry about the parade, it was called off. Thanks for the advice that is the kind of stuff I am looking for. I am not rushing into anything. Just kicking around a few ideas. Keep the thoughts coming.
