High St shop ideas?

[Petrus1983]

I've been offered the lease on a smallish (170sq ft), well located shop on a quaint town High St - it's next to a WH Smiths/Hallmark/Costa and the rent reasonable. I've wanted a side line to my current life/job - has anyone got any suggestions on what I could do with it? There's already a multitude of coffee shops and I can't see a Hooters getting past planning, beyond that though I'm all ears.

Good point with storage - although it's not impossible for me to arrange storage nearby if needed. It's directly next to a Hallmark card store and v close to a WH Smith's - but certainly your point about size is accurate.

Christmas shop if it's the right sort of area?

Lapland?

There's a Christmas shop in Bath - have no idea how it goes all year round!

I've just found out there's a 140sq ft stock room with it.

Thanks for all the suggestions - but especially to brrapp (and helpful follow ons)! Really seriously my love of cheese is well known! I don't know why I didn't see the potential sooner. The size is perfect, my knowledge is fairly good and the local suppliers are amazing. I'll start seriously looking into this first thing
