What you guys look for in a cigar shoppe?

In the US, there are many roadside churches and car dealers. I'll take bars and strip clubs.

Well the whole idea is I want to provide a place where new and old smokers alike a place to sit down and enjoy their cigars. I want to be able to provide fully humidified lockers, over sized leather chairs and couches, nice tv's, kitchen, bar, wine cellar.

See - your vision is SO mainstream - old school kind of thinking. Many shops have failed because the owner was afraid to venture outside the box! Break through to that next level - change the paradigm.

You truly want the create a cigar shop that is a "destination" - a place people want to go and hang out. You want to have a wide variety of services and products available that customers will spend money on.

Consider:

• Multi-screen movie theater
• Indoor skate park
• Indoor water park
• High end hotel
• Bowling alley (I know, but they're making a come back...)
• Live bands
• 500+ beer and/or wine selection

and add:

• Lazer tag
• Rock climbing wall
• That game where you grip the handle to show your strength

I'm feeling generous dudeguy, so I'll put together a preliminary floor plan drawing this weekend for you and post it here. I'm no architect, but any monkey can design buildings nowadays with these new fangled CAD programs.
