Many entrepreneurs love the concept of retail because ... well, lets admit it, we Americans are terrific consumers. But retail typically comes with downsides that make it less attractive to business professionals. Here are just a few retail downsides that Foot Solutions solves

o The long hours. How about no nights, no Sundays and no Holidays?

o Staff problems. No retail slackers in the store. Motivated, skilled and compensated experts wear the Foot Solutions gear.

o Traffic. Professional and personal referrals are the core of the business. You don't have to rely on Macy's to bring people past your door.

o Pricey retail footage. Foot Solutions stores are in upscale but relatively inexpensive commercial strip locations. Visibility and lower costs / sq. ft. then you might expect.

This all adds up to a great retail business wins high-margin repeat business. Business allows you to pay attention to the customer and ensure that they are not only happy, but that they are talking about how they got that way ... to your next customer.
