Would your prices be comparable to what an individual could buy online? Obviously charge a little more because of no shipping wait for the client.
No offense, but unless you get the wholesale products cheaper than a site like DPSnutrition or other comparable sites, I have always viewed supplement store sales (a la GNC) grossly overpriced. So much overpriced that I would not even walk into the store.
This is all based on a person like me doing some type of research on price comparison. If you could have prices in the range of online then you might have a sustainable business. You obviously would have to offer sound advice and other benefits to Seperate your business model.
Just my dos pesos.
Good luck!!

I would be comparable to online sites. That is my goal. I was always sick at the mark up at GNC. (I worked there, so I know what it is) It would probably be 5-10% higher than online due to overhead but not anymore. I want to also provide pre/post workout shakes for the people going in/out of the gym. While they are in there, they would also just pick up some other things.
I want to set up sign up sheets for the gym next door for personal training. They will in turn push people to my area. I would also provide discounts for Snap fitness members (neighbor gym) for advertising.
