Opening Hookah Bar?`

[only7]

I live in Central jersey. Close by to rutgurs university in new brunswick. There aren't a lot of hookah bars in this area. Two main ones are Fire n Ice and Sultanas. There are one or two more but those two are the main ones. I'm wondering if there is any profit in hookah bar? I been wanting to open one because im just not satisfied with these hookah bars. the price is high and the flavor is all the same every where. AF and SB. those two are the main ones in every hookah bar around here.

I just wondering if it is worth it? or is too much of a risk. how much money would i need to start it up? and is getting smoke license hard?

Any suggestions or inside information would help.

What kind of licenses would i need? I don't know if you know about new jersey. but im guessing you would need tobacco license? or smoking? and would that take a long time to get?

The thing is I would have to convince my brother. Hes the guy that would have to say ok on it and invest in it. how much money would I need to start it all up? any information you can or anyone else can would be great. I am really interested in this.

I think it would work because the 2 near college aren't that great. And If we offered more flavors and with cheaper prices it would work really well.

The hookah bars end up being around $20 here with 2 drinks. So one hookah for 3 people is usually the limit and 2 drink are up to $2-4. i have never paid under $15 here and the hookah is not even worth that price in the end. I have my own hookah and it smokes and tastes 100% better than what they sell here
