    I would sell some bologna sandwiches & hamburgers and maybe some hotdogs. Little breakfast food in the morning and a good coffee machine.

    Just an idea, don’t know the room you will have. But biscuits or sandwiches might do well with the early birds and maybe hunters too. Just a thought.

    I will be moving to AL in the coming months. When you get open I will have to take a road trip down to fish your area and make sure I stop in for some bait!!

    Run a cost analysis of what you think your operating costs would be for the worst month of the year of operation and see what it is to break even. Then decide if you want to have a bait shop. 99% of all bait shops are “maw & pa” run and they live with them 24/7 and in reality, you cannot buy product at the competing pricing competing with the big box stores. Also consider, your competing with internet sales. Where you buying your stock from? Most items stocked will have to be purchased thru wholesalers or middle men as you won’t have the buying power to make small purchases in items from dealing direct thru manufacturers. Check out who the wholesalers are. Water for minnows. Well or City? Bait shop will tie you down.

    I know a wholesale bait and tackle man that works north Alabama. He might be willing to sell tackle to you. His prices are better than anyone else I know of.
