It will be very tough but can be done. Start with a small hole in the closet shop. Dont lease a big space thinking you will have tons of business. Find a space with the option to expand in the future. As a kid I worked for a local petshop owned and operated by these 3 brothers. We were a tiny ass place in a shopping center for several years then the tenants next door moved out and the brothers expanded into the next two spots. Now I go there today and its a big profitable operation. It took time and I'm sure they didnt make much in the begining but they kept at it and now I'm sure they are sitting on some good money.
Do some demographic research. Find a shopping center where families go. Toys r us or something like that. Those are the ones with the pets that will shop at ur store.
