Here are a few of the companies sites where you have to buy wholesale, which would be what you need if you are opening a shop..
http://www.animalsmatter.com/ she had their beds,blankets and steps and ramps(best I have ever seen)
http://www.downtowndoggy.com/ http://www.cha-chacouture.com/ http://www.pretty-smith.com/ http://www.douglaspaquette.com/miva/merchant.mvc (she had his collars and leashes, I bought one)
http://iseespot.com/bNetStore/Templa...plDefault.aspx (the skulls shirt) I have been thinking of opening a boutique myself(for about a year now), but honestly don't know where to begin. The girls that I went to was lucky, she had a empty building next to her house that was hers that she converted into her shop. Perfect size and already payed for so no rent. Are you having to rent a space or do you have your own? I also don't know if it would do well in my area, and I would want to have it close to my home so I would be close to my kids school. How did you decide on how much money to invest into everything you have to have? Sorry if I am being nosey, I have just always wanted to know how people get started. I would have talked to the girl whos shop I went to , but I didn't want her to think I was scoping her shop out as the competition. i would love to hear all about how your doing it if you want to share.
