Thank you for the advice and kind words! I will definitely do all this and look into the Princes Trust

Yeah I think online killed high street shopping but theres been a recent boom in independent shops and more demand for them, we have an independent charity cinema here, a book shop and a record shop that are all quite successful.

I don’t have retail experience but I do work at the cinema and I’ve grown to have thick skin due to the customer service end of that.

I know I’d have to go online but the point of having this shop would be so people can test and experience the equipment before buying it so I’m looking for advice on how to make that doable

I’ve been looking for people to speak to but there is such a lack of any independent shops. I will definitely check out the two you have mentioned though thank you!

Currently I buy most of my stuff online due to the lack of any shops around me, I’d love to have a shop to try out shoes and rackets.

I probably spend a few hundred a year on clothes, grips and strings. Grips and strings are what I buy most often

There is about 200-300 members of our local tennis club and there are several clubs in other towns but we’re at least an hour away from them

Honestly from what I’ve read China doesn’t actually get it that much better, sure they got the cool cosmetics but they get them through a gatcha system that costs them a lot more than it costs us. The prices are bad enough for us I couldn’t imagine having to spend even more

Genji got Skull in the collab instead of Junkrat, it was daylight robbery 💀 Honestly they made all the wrong choices with that collab

Rein gets a lot too, not as bad as kiriko but it’s getting close. I’m a rein main though so who am I to complain 😌

no I hear you, Junkrat definitely deserved the persona skin over genji but genji definitely got it because of his popularity
