[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1350337, member: 6897"] Congratulations buddy. You should do well. Only thing I would recommend is to carry more than one line of feed and prepare yourself for that automatic % increase in sales that Purina will demand of you. Learn all you can about every feed product you sell so you can truly give your customers knowledgeable information about each of the feeds. As for bulk feeds they really are good for customers only and will actually cost you money by losing the bagged feed sales but guess it goes with the business. Hopefully you can get some sort of binding agreement from PMI that they will not locate another store within "x" number of miles of your location. (10-15 would be nice). Encourage all your customers to buy the best feeds and not the cheapest. Avoid credit as much as possible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [/QUOTE]
