Make sure your location is appropriate. The businesses around you should be compatible with your target customer without competing with you directly.

First of all, find an appropriate local, on a busy street, which will respect your budget. Then, paint it or decor it to match with what you'll be saling there. Also, get an appropriate name for your business. Make sure that your workers will always wear a large smile to salute each new customer.
