Chook Me!

Would you shop at this store I'm opening?

It is a grocery called "Roots" We sell all kinds of FRESH fruit, vegetables, grains, oils, herbs, beans and healthy diary products + eggs.(ONLY) There are no labels or brand names. and no meat or processed food, what so ever. The grains and nuts are in bins (like an animal feed store) and you scoop them and bag them yourself. At the checkstand everything is weighed... and prices are very cheap! There will also be a very SIMPLE website where you can look up every item sold at the store and there will be various cooking directions for it. as for the appearance... It will be a decent sized building with high ceilings and orginal urban influenced art covering the walls. and plank wood floors. plus really good music by local artists and CD's sold at the front . Outside, off to the side of the store will be a big garden. There will be fresh cut flowers sold and a chicken coop providing fresh eggs. There will also be an eco friendly kitchen supply section (pots+ pans+ tea kettles+ water pipes, etc..) In addition, There will be a Medical Marijuana Health Clinic. This is just an idea.. I would love to open a store like this one day, for now, I am just 17 and still in high school, and just coming up with everything, please let me know what you think, would this business actually work and make money. it comes down to you, the customer... would you shop here? would you?? let me know, thanks! haha ok i respect that.. you say earthy, I say healthy.. tomateo, tomateo. but how is it unsanitary? ..normal grocery stores have bulk bins... I personally don't use them because they don't seem like they would be fresh. why no live chickens? because you don't eat animal products? i wana know, thanks

1. No. Too earthy-crunchy and pretentious. Not to mention those big bins are unsanitary in my opinion.
2. Sounds like fun! I would shop there if it were close enough to the house.
3. I would shop at this store. Your plan is well thought out and you have some good ideas. Unless you have money to sustain yourself, however, I'd suggest going for a business degree or at least taking some business courses.
4. i wouldn't shop at a place with live chickens
