ElijahSing Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 There is a local Piercing/tattoo/Coffee shop in town.. The owners are very interested in opening a Hookah Lounge.. Well, I am going to propose to them that I use part of their space to sell hookah's, hookah tobacco ect.. I need to come up with a business plan and figure out how much money I will need for a loan to order all of my starting out hookahs and whatnot. if you are a distributor or know any useful information, it would be greatly appreciated!thank you, -Elijah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
