FamBiz Q & A
One of our 2013 FEYA finalists, Sue Battle at Bosley's, was asked:
Q. What criteria did you use to choose the right location for your store?
- Be near a large "anchor" store, such as grocery, liquor, Timmies...places where lots of people come on a daily basis
- Be located near or on the main highway through town...we are, and are also next to a grocery store
- Have lots of parking and easy access
