There certainly are a lot of factors to consider. It's very impressive that there are folks who make this business model work.

Overhead is VERY different in different markets, states, and parts of the country.
So I can definitely see it in some places.

And a big thing that can make a huge difference is the initial investment when building out the business.
One BIG reason I am no where near opening is that after doing this for the last 30 years, I want to make sure this shop is set up the absolute best I possibly can. And that is not cheap, and I am broke lol. Everything costs 5 times as much as it did when I started this new chapter (thank you COVID)
