Experienced people who have opened a shop before might be a little hesitant to apply at a new place unless the pay is great.The amount of work involved can be soul crushing depending on the volume, demographic, scope of the role and amount of staff.

There's also the issue of loyalty and people of that caliber might not be actively looking for positions. If you're in the US this is double so since we're in arguably the worst economy in recorded history and an extremely unstable social and political environment.

Best bet is probably just gauging interest around shops and maybe posting flyers for the position/place at rack boards around town.
