    Their store looks amazing John 👏 You certainly aren't wrong when you say it isn't cheap! We had a market stall for 5 years and opened our own store 2 years ago alongside the market stall. When the pandemic hit in March 2020 we actually made the decision to leave the market which had better footfall to focus our attention on our shop to create the experience of escapism. You can get a feel of the before and after in our videos. We've also allocated the biggest investment into our business in the past 2 months (which sounds crazy given the pandemic) but we know it WILL pay off when it is completed in April.

    The key to opening up a specialty retail store is to make sure you are in a very high traffic tourist area. Keep in mind that most likely less than 20% of customers will be locals. If the area doesn't have high tourist pedestrian traffic, don't waste your time taking such a risk.

Is it still the same process that you explained in terms of legal structure, or is there more steps than a US citizen? That would be really helpful to me to have information on that. Thanks a lot again!
