Yes, thanks for everyone's advice.
To address some concerns. I fully realize my idea is not unique and has been done many times. I purposely have not looked into any of these places for fear of clouding my own original thought.
There certainly has to be a survey of all locations. Competition aside, you have to question if there is even a prime physical location available anymore.
It is not my intention to be so pompous to think I can upstart something like this anywhere I want without pissing people off, stepping on toes, or backlash. It is possible that there are no untapped locations left in the country. In this case, sometimes competing will be necessary if you really want to do something. Remember, as much as any of these places would like to think they own exclusive rights...they do not.
Competition is good. Unless Obamamessiah takes us down some irreversible course...competition will be good in the future as well.
There are a few things I have not mentioned and some things I have that would not work. You can't spread the business too thin. I also like health and wellness and might see how I could incorporate this.
There are multiple traps available to catch a mouse...which is best might be up for debate.
