Starting a Monster Beverage Retail Store

Good luck losing buckets of money

We get our cans for $1.30 each, and since there is a low supply in our town, people will pay $2-$2.25 or so per can, which gives us a bit of profit, and we don't lose money.

Working and not getting enough sleep. Thats why I drink Monster everyday. Well, Java Monster that is.

I ing love the Monster coffee. Mean bean, mmm.....

its not like were trying to make a lot of money or anything, and not many places sell monster in town. It will do business, I can pretty much guarantee. We are going to sell the cases, BFCs, singles, coffee, shirts/hats, stickers, etc.

I know tons of people who do. Were not looking to start a huge business, we just want to open up a little store. It already is a big thing at school.

if you get this working ill actually stop by

I hope you are planning on selling in an extremely large market.

Otherwise good luck selling Monster crapin Po-Dunk, Iowa.

Do yourself a favor and can it? If you are buying at 1.30 a can and you can sell at even $2.30 a can, you are making a dollar profit. Lets say you sell 1000 cans a month. Thats a $1000 in profit. Dont forget you have to pay rent on the building, advertising, electric, etc. You will most certainly be taking a loss. And even if you said you could sell 1000 cans without advertising and you had zero over head. You would make squat between the 3 of you. $300 and change is barely anything. Not to mention you will have startup costs with licensing in your state, federal taxes, K1s that will have to be issued, someone will be responsible for your accounting and if your state requires, you may have to have a W2 employee. Which means you will be responsible for 50% of payroll taxes and may also be required to pickup an workman's comp policy.

The only way this could be remotely a good idea in this economical recession, is if you can tell me that you can sell 25,000 cans each month, no sweat. And I doubt very much a small town will be doing that.
