A business degree so you will know how to get the license and pay the taxes etc, first of all, then, lots of front-end capital.  Location Location Location.  Some background into the care of various animals.  Something unique that will set your store apart from the massive chain stores such as PetSmart/Petco.  Did I say Location?  A willingness to fail and work harder than you have ever worked in you entire life.  Long hours without pay.  Good human relations is a strength you will either need or acquire.  And, oh yeah, Location with a unique niche to get the people to come to you.

Call your local council office.  Many councils have a store right there, where you can purchase one.  The councils who don't have stores will be able to help you find what you need and possibly even order it for you.

You can start at Yahoo Shopping. I guess you can set up a small online store there with minimum effort. Once your business grows, you may move it your own site and buy some custom built website.

You'll need a local vending license, a truck, a supplier of produce, and then a lot of let work to find clients. Try the smaller restaurants to start with.

Maybe you could start with the neccesary things first, then expand. If you can undercut any competition within a reasonable driving distance, and can remember names well,sell goldfish, dog and cat food, treats, manufactured as well as custom built houses, then add your designer clothing as a small addition, just to see how it goes. You know if your items cost the same or more the traffic will be very low. But yes I think pet sales account for a real good income. Now, location, the better the locatiuon the more it'll cost you. People in towns where traffic is 9 cars long  to the intersection find that corner lots are not as good as they were when cars only lined up 2-3 long. Too busy of an intersection makes it impossible to get in and out. \n\nOr you could purchase a franchise. But here's a clean little example of what it might take to seriously consider such an enterprise:

Go to www.realtor.com.  On the home page, click on Rentals that is located near the top of the page.  The only criteria you can't plug-in is "pet-friendly."

Go to www.irs.gov\n\nPets are out. Only a nitwit would think you could deduct money for a pet.  Now a business investment is a different story.

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.\n\nI recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. \n\nResearch, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:\n\n* Running Your Own Boarding Kennels by David Cavill\n* Building, Buying and Operating a Boarding Kennel by James Krack \n* Kennel Building and Management (Howell Reference Books) by Mario Migliorini\n\nThere are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I would recommend starting with something you enjoy, find a wholesale supplier or make the goods/services yourself, and setup a store with eBay.  This is really quick and easy (AKA: cheap) to start.  If you don't know exactly what you want to do it is a good way to see how it will work without a huge investment.  If you are successful in that marketplace you can take it to the next level and expand into a more traditional business model with less risk!  \n\nTry playing around with writing a business plan and see what your risk and financial tolerance is.  The link below is a good tool for planning a new eBay business, I would recommend you check this out first!

Fist thing would be to find a city, or mall that will allow you to open a such business.... Then I guess it would be order a bunch of products and open up... making sure that you only sell to people that are the appropriate age.... Police like to send under age people in stores like that...\n\nGood Luck
