Moose Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 People could sit, smoke, read, maybe hook up a laptop to wifi or what have you. The only local hookah joint is like seven miles away, across the freeway, and it charges $12-16 per bowl, and has a club atmosphere (on Friday and Saturday nights you can't even hear the people at your table talk unless they scream). And there's plenty of places leasing because of the economy. And getting a decent loan wouldn't be too hard, I've got Navy Fed. Don't know about tobacco laws in Virginia.

dizzbizz Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Sounds like a good idea. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) Thanks. Is there any easy wholesale route for hookahs and shisha, or should I just order them individually online? Obviously I'll buy coals en masse. Edited June 26, 2011 by Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I agree- sounds like a great idea. I'd frequent your place quite a bit. Just do your research and I'm sure you can get her up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaceman27 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 getting a loan might be harder than you think. i tried looking into bank loans but ended up going with private financial investors for my hookah house. banks are apprehensive about investing into the tobacco industry.

angekfire Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Another thing to keep in mind in a book store, is that smoke can easily damage or discolour the paper of the books, detracting from their value. Also, lots of paper + coals makes it easy for a fire to start if someone were to knock one over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
