  • A thrift store that keeps prices below what the big box thrift stores sell their product for. More people are looking towards sustainability these days and with the crazy inflation in my country, people are desperate for cheaper alternatives

    I would want to feel like I’m actually giving something back. I would also have a section of the store that sells vintage clothing and items and still keep costs lower than what overpriced vintage boutiques are selling. I’ve seen a local business owner in a nearby city be pretty successful at doing something similar, but they started their business during a better time and had more support and better assets to back them up than I do.

    But I wouldn’t be doing it purely for the money. I’ve been selling thrift and vintage on and off for years and the connection I have with the customer is always more important to me than the money.

    Unfortunately I live in Canada which is an extremely hostile environment for small businesses so my dream will always only be a dream
