    How small is this smaller city ? I ask because if there are no other alternatives, there might be a reason. Like the area won't support it.

    Really do your home work. And best wishes.

    One thing to consider. While weighing all your options. The amount of time you'll need for this. Is a lot of time spent away from your family.

    Is that worth it ?

    Quoted from Coz:

    I do have help and potential partners

    You keep adding parts to this.

    How dedicated are they ? I've found most are good with ideas or offers of help. But once work commences they often disappear or prime time hours like dinner with the family, their needs come first. You'll be stuck with the crappy hours and dirty work.

    Quoted from pinkid:

    At least have some vintage games. Nothing worse to go to an arcade see a line up of shitty new games.

    At least have games that earn. Old or not. Get rid of dead weight.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Plan to set aside enough to cover 30-90 days of expenses, including payroll.

    A year worth of money is better. What happens if they redo the road by you and people can't get to you for half a year ? Takes time to rebuild when things happen beyond your control.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Set up a lunch & lemonade stand for the road workers

    Too funny. Bad this is a half mile away your customers are stopped and can't get to you.

    When there is a fire up at the town homes south of me. I've let the firemen know they can use my bathroom and I'll buy them pop.

    When there is work done on the building or parking lot, I let the workers know they can use my bathroom.

    Most of the surrounding businesses won't let others use their restrooms.

    Quoted from Buzz:

    stole the toilet paper holder at our local arcade.

    I gave up on a mirror in the bathroom. People scratching initials into it, or even stealing it.

    I figure if they need a mirror that bad, they can have it.

    Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:

    are they covered under the locations policy?

    Never depend on a location to insure you. Get your own.
