Anyone have experience with running a candy by the pound shop?

I think this would be a profitable venture in my town as there is a ton of kids and lot of foot traffic in town daily by middle schoolers and high schoolers. There is a space available by one of the local ice cream shops and toy shops.
Trying to get an idea of how much start up capital would be needed outside rent and time commitment.

All retail is brutal, doesn't strike me as a good idea offhand.

Putting your thumb on the scale will increase profits. For some reason, activities such as this tend to be illegal.
Seriously, you would need to sell a lot of candy to cover the overhead for this venture.

It would take selling a ton of candy to turn a profit

How many pound of candy can you sell to fat kids before they need more? See lots of highs and lows…then failure.

Man idk if middle/high schoolers are buying a whole lot of candy these days. This would be a hard pass for me

I think candy shops and such can work in diatom areas that have high foot traffic. I just imagine that managing it would be a pretty time intensive task for someone that has a real job.

Ice cream would be better IMO

What about flower shops? My girlfriend is dead set on starting one but I have no advice for her other than you have to sell a lot to make a profit.

Be prepared to go help girlfriend and work your arse off around Valentines and Mothers Day. You’ll be trimming rose stems until your fingers bleed, then driving all over hell for deliveries. Source: neighbor worked at a flower shop.

Wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t already putting in 60 hour work weeks haha.
