If you have just opened a retail store, are getting ready to open, have begun planning your opening, have a retail store idea in mind, or have ever thought about any kind of retail adventure...this book is a MUST read! Carol Schroeder is an experienced and successful retail owner and she doesn't hesitate to share her knowledge in this book. I will keep this book by my side as I continue to plan my grand opening and beyond.

I just started reading, but have already learned some new things and enjoy reading about her experiences in the retail market.

this book kind of reads like a college text book. this may be good for someone who hasnt read a lot of additional books about retailing.

Most comprehensive book of it's kind on the market! I don't think there is a topic she does not cover. Some are covered a bit too lightly as I am not sure there was anymore room left in the book. As I am in the process of opening my own retail store, I keep going back to this fabulous book again and again.

This book is everything I had read about it. Thoughtful and complete in describing what it is like to open and run a specialty retail shop. Carol Schroeder seems to have identified all of the areas she would have wanted to be counseled on when starting her own business, and then spends time talking on the topic. This one is worth the money spent!

This book is a must for anyone thinking of jumping into small retail business ownership. It is full of practical information and takes you step by step through what you need to know in the pre-planning process, the 'let's do it" stage and your grand opening-how to open a successful business start to finish. It has been extremely useful to me and I knew almost nothing when I started planning my business.
