My LHS recently changed hands... That sucked as I had a sweet deal with the previous owner. If only she could have balanced her books correctly the IRS may not have audited her... Nice lady but a crappy business woman. I had all of her dealer logins, and kept a close eye on her business. It made good money, just needed some more dedication. Her husband opened it and they have 2 younfger kids, so it was just too much on her plate. I almost bought the place, but glad I did not as it would have stretched me a bit thin...

I would have made some serious money though, and my buddy would be the perfect guy to manage it, as he is very knowledgeable about rc... I am still thinking about opening a hobby shop... Not sure if i want to drop 50k on inventory and build another building...
