this is what makes you different from other sneaker RUclipsrs. Providing content that has value and is meaningful. Thank you. Keep up the hard work and can't wait to see the store!!!
I keep coming back to this video! 1 year later I got my LLC and store front. Crazy what can happened in 1 year. I opened this September. I’m nervous and excited as hell. Wish me luck!! 🙏🙏🙏
@@thecontroversy7914 I buy anywhere, offer up, local, marketplace, Facebook groups. Sneaker shows. NO LOANS! I started off with 300+ pairs and and 50 pre owned pairs
i love this. I have been going to your shop since you opened. I try to stop by on my lunch breaks. But i too have a dream of wanting to open a shop up. This is so informative and this is why i continue to support you, you are open to conversation and are so positive with the energy. Keep going bro!
This is exactly what I was looking for. This information was so useful and inspiring, if you haven’t realize you’re blessed a lot of people with the information you provided. I am in the process of opening up a sneaker store but my main problem is I can’t tell the real from the fakes yet so I’m practicing it but that’s for this 🔥 info, I’m a follow you on all platforms
Please don't switch up. Been watching almost all your videos and you always keep it 100, you gon b on top Andrew jus don't switch up and keep doing you n being 100
Thank you my guy I needed to hear this. Definitely food for thought, an explained extremely well. Keep grinding and thank you for being an inspiration to us little people! 🙌🏾✊🏽
Hope all is well, I've always speculated about opening a sneaker shop. All the information you provided is on point! I do photography and music videos so I had to eventually learn the business model at some point after starting my journey. I'm mostly curious about how do you build a reputable inventory with different brands. In other words where or how did you come across your shoe vendors. I've got a full time job in the county that funds my side-hustles and hobbies but I love the thought of being an entrepreneur in the sneaker / fashion industry. Thanks for any input you may share bro! 🙌
Great video. Watched a few of your videos, specifically about opening up and the leg work behind it. One thing I haven't heard you discuss (unless I just missed it) is how you source your inventory. Do you go direct to brands, do you have to have a connection? Are these things difficult to come buy? Is there a vetting process before a particular brand starts working with you? Are you just sourcing on your own?
pretty glad i fell upon your page. it's my life goal, bucket list to open up a hobby shop in the future. very informative, and very good content. i had to sub! keep it up, bro!
I think it's super important to specify this is a sneaker resale shop. If you are trying to open a shop where you get the product straight from the brands then the reality is that you will simply not get an account unless you buy out an existing store or have some kind of huge financial backing.
my only question is how did you come up with the start-up fund?what are the resources?awespme vid im inspired and always wanted to land a spot somewhere and do my own thing
I realized this was what I need to do with my life. I had many jobs out of high school that I realized I just want to do what I love and be my own boss. One day..
When you said you were a little older than most I thought you were about to say 45 or something lol, you’re still very young! Regardless, I want to open up a sneaker shop as well so I appreciate all the knowledge and insight!
Dude. You are amazing, owning a sneaker store is a dream and a huge goal of mine. Im only 16 and know probably a bit more than the average high schooler about owning businesses etc. but this really out things into perspective and I want to thank you for that. I hope to achieve this goal someday. I also wanted to ask you if you happen to see this, 1. Is it smart to take out a loan for a business? I know that's more money going to the interest of the loan and stuff and 2. Idk why I always feel like I HAVE to be reselling now to start a store but im not sure if that's the case. Is it possible to just start a store without having to basically full time resell before? I hope you see this and thanks again :)
It’s very nice that you are making these videos. They’re very informative and educational. Will you make videos on booking your inventory and the accounting side of the business. I’m opening up a sneaker shop and everything you said on this video is on point. Thank you for taking the time replying to our comments.
Congrats on making the move! I’m doing the same here in NY! Shopping around for insurance at the moment, what carrier did you go with, as a lot of them don’t insure sneaker resellers. Blessings.
Amen boss got a store opening may 8th near chicago people really don’t know how much it cost and how much work u have to put in to get there got a RUclips coming soon something like u do
Considering all the expenses, what made you open a shop when there are online selling platforms for you to sell sneakers and other things? Is profit THAT much better?
Yes it is better They thought behind it was that I would eventually need a bigger space regardless if I wanted to expand the business such as a storage unit or warehouse. So I’d still have to pay rent for something or just keep the business at a very small scale. Plus in store is a better way to source inventory. Instead of driving around, doing meet ups and having to always haggle down prices. When people come into a sneaker shop they know they can’t get market value so prices are already under
@@holygroundshop Appreciate your response. Opening up a store has been in the back of my mind. Just wasn't sure if it was profitable due to all the expenses when you have Goat StockX ebay etc to sell on. Good luck with you business. I enjoyed the vid, very informative.
I hope all the best to you and to all the brothers who looking for there future,The only problem that I face now in opening a local store is how to find good deals or suppliers at a good price, knowing that I am from the Middle East, is there a site or entity that provides you with premium sneakers?
i am 14 and have always wanted to start a business and sneakers is my thing. all of this is so confusing though. i really need help finding where to buy for cheap for profit and all stuff like that
great vid. Helped shed light on starting a business in general. All these kids thinking it's as easy as copping shoes on a phone needa sit down LOL stay in school LMAO
I always suggest for you to use your own money. It’s never a good idea to go into debt. Right now is a good time to get a loan but I’d say be conservative with the amount you want to loan out. If everything fails then you’ll have to pay it back with interest which just loses you more money
You just have to source it. Start buying pairs either in bulk or individually from people. Stock up on new releases if you’re able to get them for retail. But just put in work to find what you need. Use offer up, Facebook, Instagram or whatever you can
I’d say 50k for everything but depends on what you want to do. If you’re consignment you probably need less. Also depends on how big of a shop you want. Mines relatively small but I don’t mind it. But yes that was including my inventory
this is what makes you different from other sneaker RUclipsrs. Providing content that has value and is meaningful. Thank you. Keep up the hard work and can't wait to see the store!!!
Thank you bro! Def will keep it up!

Congrats Man! Good luck with it all!
Where do you buy your shoes in bulk
Hi man ! How did you do ?
Where did you buy your shoes from? Did you get a business loan?
@@thecontroversy7914 I buy anywhere, offer up, local, marketplace, Facebook groups. Sneaker shows. NO LOANS! I started off with 300+ pairs and and 50 pre owned pairs
You have said exactly what success shortens, ALL LOVE BRO!!
I’m a sneaker head finance major so I’m glad someone went into a bit of detail
I’m only 12 and one of my dreams is to have a store. Good to know I have this to help me in the future

Thanks bro , for the info. ❤
Question. Great video. But how do you research vendors? You said you had over 200 pairs. Are those private purchases or you have a vendor for it?
Thanks for this helpful video, just wondering how many sales do you think do you get each day or week + average spend + profit margin
Amen boss got a store opening may 8th near chicago people really don’t know how much it cost and how much work u have to put in to get there got a RUclips coming soon something like u do

What you do for a day job?
Thank you very much, great insight
Yea no worries!
Great information 🔥🔥
Yessir!
Hey bro I'm from jamaica really want to open a sneakers store but I'm stuck on getting a whole sale supply
With all these costs you have listed, are the profit margins even worth it? How many pairs would you have to sell a day to even break even?
We broke even I think within like 3 months with our situation
Considering all the expenses, what made you open a shop when there are online selling platforms for you to sell sneakers and other things? Is profit THAT much better?
Yes it is better
They thought behind it was that I would eventually need a bigger space regardless if I wanted to expand the business such as a storage unit or warehouse.

Super helpful bro
i am 14 and have always wanted to start a business and sneakers is my thing. all of this is so confusing though. i really need help finding where to buy for cheap for profit and all stuff like that
The hardest part of the job is finding inventory. Just gotta search and hustle
When he was talking bout liability insurance I got a little scared but he said 1000 a year not a month
Lolll yea that’s how I felt when they first said that number to me too
great vid. Helped shed light on starting a business in general. All these kids thinking it's as easy as copping shoes on a phone needa sit down LOL stay in school LMAO
where do you get your shoes at a price that is profitable?
Congratulations 🎊
Thank you!
So is a loan what I would need to start or do

@@holygroundshop bet appreciate it bro I’ve been side selling here and there on offer up
Very informative thank you bro
No problem!
How much do u need in inventory to start. 43k is for everything? Including all pairs and clothing?
I’d say 50k for everything but depends on what you want to do. If you’re consignment you probably need less. Also depends on how big of a shop you want. Mines relatively small but I don’t mind it. But yes that was including my inventory
How u get the shoes?
