I’m working on building a Friendly Local Game Store in Randolph. So far I’ve been working in the business side of things: business plan, market research, financial matters, etc. To have something meaningful in the primary market research section of the plan I started an on-line survey to get some market data. The survey is available here https://skoda.net/survey/ I encourage you to take it and share it with your friends.
I’m going to chronicle my work, the things I discover, successes and set-backs here on my blog. There is a lot of material on the Internet about how to start or why not to start an FLGS and I’ve read and read and read. I hope to consolidate my lessons learned here for others who want to start a store or possibly to acts as a content consolidation for FLGS resources.
