I've been paying $1/ft at my industrial spot, but just found a .85/ft storefront located on a very busy corner downtown. Only 1 mile from our college. I'm going to check out the power supply and layout tomorrow...
I think it would work great if it was designed with walk-ins in mind, with space alotted for them to peruse and select all comfortable like. I think some may be turned off if the orders aren't huge quantity, but if you had a dtg to cover short runs...
