Hate to get off topic, but I don't think a butter store is a terrible idea. A little shop like that could quickly gain a religious following, with people swearing by it. I just hope that you have another source of income and won't expect to see a big profit for a while.

ok this is a bit weird, but actually, I had a client I did desig for who marketed gourmet butters. They didnt open a "butter store" i think that would be extremely limited business. But they sold to alot of gourmet shops and catalogs and did well. Their products were flavored butters like different herb butters, maple butter (which kicks ass btw) and other stuff.

btw if you are in the NYC are or plan on coming here, go to Virgils BBQ in times square for some awesome BBQ. Get the hush puppies with maple butter. Its awesome.

in fact try this at home. Get a nice whipped butter, land o lakes will do. Now let it get soft but not melted. Mix in a good maple syrup (not that bullsh!t aunt jamima type sugar water). Spread that on your toast, bagle, or pancakes. thank me later :)

Well, what the hell ... if you went back in time a decade people would probably laugh out loud at you if you said you were going to open a chain of coffee shops ... dozens of franchises in every sizeable city ... that sold a cup of joe for $5 a pop :roll:
It could be the next big thing!

:thumbsup:

I would like to invest in your store. Please contact me.

:shocked:

and then we would also sell things to have along with your butter-toast, corn on the cob, lobster, etc.

but then i realized, that besides butter, maybe it would be a good idea to sell condiments too, like packets of ketchup, musterd, vinegsar, etc.

i figure once a person has bought a packet of ketchup, it would be easy to get them to buy an order of fries to go with it.[/quote]

So basically you want to open up a grocery store.

I say drop butter and go with prostitutes, there's more of a market.

Will they be freshly-churned prostitues?

Freshly-churned prostitutes + butter store = :sick;

Are you going to stock any lung butter? If you need any fresh, let me know, I feel a cold coming on.

That doesn't work, unless you wriite in the inclusion for for anything over 300

(body weight - 300) * breast weight/2

cause there's a market for the big girls out there, but the extra breast weight might drive prices up a bit so you divide it by 2 to be reasonable.
