I mean Gemm and the Internet in addition to being a physical "hang out" store, by the way. I'd also probably have to do the MySpace thing to help advertise among the students.

I'd also have replacement needles (styluses), record cleaner and accessories, maybe even the occasional refurbished turntable to sell.

Maybe a few magazines? Not sure how much they sell, though.

hiring a barista would pay her salary, yours, and the rent. of course you'd have to do payroll taxes which is a major PITA. but you could reward good customers w/ free coffee & shit. you could do it alone at first when business is slow if it picks up you hire a student part-time.
