The news-stand business, is definitely a good business opportunity you should consider getting into. No matter how popular internet news websites are .. the brick and mortar news-stand business will always florish.
To start a newsstand business, … you will have to search for distributors of magazines and newspapers. You dont need to go to every magazine publisher out there. You should be able to find one umbrella company that distributes this publication magazines of various types to newsstand retailers.
One more thing to be certain of, is that, you shouldnt lose money, if you go with a magazine publication distributor that has the buy back policy. This means that if the magazines fail to sell and are expired on the shelf … the distributor will take the magazines back and refund your money. Now, thats sweet business.
Also, dont expect to make money from just selling information newspapers and magazines. You will need to add snack food items, cigarrettes, cigars, lottery tickets, cold drinks & hot drinks. This should bring in good money … especially the cigarrettes and lottery sales.
For those who dont like selling cigarrettes … I will advice you to stay away from this type of business. Because selling cigarrettes will be one of your main money makers.
So, if you love to take the chance with a business like this … I will say go for it. It is a real money making machine.
