I work at a small hardware store and I know I don't want to own that. But maybe a electronics store. Then have some sort of niche within the store that no one else is doing.

SORRY, I have been absent! My Internet connection is messed up & the technician is coming! I had a migraine & hurt my back. I will get to all the discussions as soon as I can -- thanks for all the replies so far!

Comics/graphic novels and stuff like that

I think it would be cool to own a guitar shop. But, mine and the ol mans dream is actually to run a custom motorcycle shop.

I would love to have my own bakery or antique store.

Holy heck, I miss a day or two & now I can't even keep up with responding to all these terrific answers!

js250, I should have included a selection for, "I already own a retail store! It's..."

But, other than that, it would take me way too long to reply to all the great ideas! I'll just say for now, thank you, everyone for your responses, I read every single one &, as always, I appreciate them!

We have such interesting people on this forum, I love being surprised by the variety of answers - even, or especially, when I'm not expecting anything original or quirky!

Definitely always wanted a bakery of some type. Always sounded like an awesome life goal.
