Patti asked:
I’m thinking a herbal shop, or a fruit stand that sells produce plus fresh herbs, and other country stuff, or a greenhouse? What would you do if you could start a small business?
I’ve thought of a little coffee shop too, but I would also sell herbal teas and a variety of drinks and some fresh-made snacks to go along with it. It would have a colorful ecletic decor.

I’d LOVE to open a little coffee shop / restaurant with a very antique vintage feel to it.
Good luck with your business endeavor
A plumbing company,,, do what you know,,, I’m a plumber,
A little European style cafe that sells coffee, tea, and pastries. Maybe I’d include a section that sells herbal remedies(I’m a big believer in them, I always use them first) and fresh cut flowers.
A yarn shop. I’d have it for knitters and crocheters, and other needleworkers. I’d put on nice music and have beautiful yarns and supplies. There would be classes in all aspects of knitting and crocheting. It would be a relaxing and positive atmosphere where knitters and crocheters can get help with projects.
A small bar that offered entertainment on the weekends, talent shows, and Karaoke, and hopefully would convince ‘Gladys’ to appear as headliner. She could do stand-up comedy, play the accordian, or do Karaoke. What ever her little heart desired!
IT would not be a small business in fact i would go worldwide.
It would be fun to have a business where i could trap all of the scammers and cons in cyberspace and make them pay very dearly for their malicious practise.
Like the idea of a coffee shop though, the rates that Starbucks charge would guarantee a substansial income even on a small scale.

I’ve already done it. I was a small business owner selling trading cards for 15 yrs.
I never loved to work any more than what it took to make this business survive.
Then one day my past caught up to me and it all disappeared.
an upscale lingerie shop but I don’t want to work that hard.
A web page where people would pay me for advice.
Problem is, people do not pay for advice on the internet.
I would also like to open a coffee shop. I’d like to roast the beans on site in small batches so the coffee would taste better. The ultimate goal would be to offer the best cup of coffee around, and not just to emulate the crap they sell at Starbucks. That stuff is awful.
It is more of a dream of my daughter’s than mine, but I would really like to help her get a coffee kiosk going. They are a rave in Washington and we do adore a good cup of coffee. There’s nothing like making money at something you enjoy.

If I knew how to make them, a donut shop.
I’d open it about 430, 5 am to catch the work crowd, sell coffee, donuts, fruit, and breakfast sandwich’s.
Maybe, I would do a lite lunch thing, like a “box lunch to go” also.
Then close at 2pm, and take a nap.
(This town really needs a donut shop, and at one time, I really was jazzed about doing this very thing. I had a corner picked out, right across the street from a big Catholic church, and about four block from the Courthouse. But, they built a “strip-mall” there. )
A second hand and crafters shop.
