Q: Location is everything in convenience stores. As the name implies, they should be convenient to get to. Stores off the beaten path may have a stronger local customer base because people don't want to go all the way to the grocery store, while stores near the highway typically get traffic from travelers who are not as familiar with the area. Ideally, a convenience store is highly visible and must have either convenient parking options or a large amount of outside foot traffic like in a transportation terminal, mall, or office complex. To find the best locations for convenience stores, large corporations use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) reports to map local competition and demographics. These reports are generally too expensive for small business owners. However, you can get the same information for free from the small business development center (SBDC). Go to their website, http://www.sbdcnet.org, and search for "convenience store tips" for more information. You will need a security system with cameras and alarms, a cash register, coolers for drinks, shelves, and a credit card processing machine.

You'll have to decide whether or not to use a full-service wholesaler, which may require larger order sizes, or several limited-function wholesalers, which may be more expensive and means additional for you. Both have their pros and cons, so consider the needs of your business before deciding. Another option, especially if you run a small store, is to get your supplies from a price club store, like Costco or Sam's Club. You will be responsible for picking up and shipping the items yourself, but you may save money this way. . Lay out your store shelves, and stock them with items. Use a method that will make ordering and restocking easy. Place your higher-priced or easy-to-steal merchandise within view of the clerk and a security camera. Consider who your primary customers will be and adjust your offerings accordingly. For example, if you are in a residential area, it would be beneficial to stock necessities like milk and bread so that locals will not need to go all the way to the grocery store. Alternately, a store surrounded by business will likely need to focus more on providing good coffee and breakfast. You need trustworthy employees in this business as you could stand to lose both money and merchandise. Be thorough in your interview, check references, and consider background checks and drug testing. Consider doing a grand opening with banners and special deals to attract customers. For example, you could offer free coffee to the first 100 customers. The most important thing is to get the word out and get customers in the door.

In case of any leaked acid or leftover charge, always handle them with latex gloves and avoid touching the ends, where the terminals are located.

To do this, you can either place each battery in a separate plastic bag or place a piece of clear tape over the terminal, or the small bump, on the top of the battery.

Q: Look online for classes offered by community centers or a nearby college if you want to take up a hobby that you love.

Don't listen to people that say you can't do it, and take the time to learn about your hobby and get better at it. Don't quit a hobby just because other people think it's silly. If it makes you happy and you genuinely enjoy doing it, stick with it. If you are new to your hobby, or you haven't been practicing it for a long time, there's a good chance you'll need to get better at it. Most people won't be proficient at a task without being given the time to practice.

Evaluate yourself honestly, and set goals that are realistic to your abilities. If you are older, you may have a decrease in functional ability. Instead of setting unattainable goals, consider your body and aim for something that you can accomplish.
