Decent setup for a bait shack. Do you have a scale like existing square footage or new build estimated square footage?
Personally, I think creating your own franchise bait shacks is a pretty solid idea. Extremely low overhead and much more market capture. If a spot gets too busy you build/lease to handle the amount of customers.
Sorry, my stupid associates in business from BRCC kicked in.
