Re: What goes with liquor?
There will always be a few people willing to drive 20 mins to save a couple of bucks but 99% of the customers are local. Alcohol is heavy and no one wants to carry it 3-4 extra blocks to save a buck. But if it's an extra 5 bucks a bottle, I'd be walking that 4 blocks. It wasn't really clear what kind of area you were looking to open your store but now I know it's urban.
Concentrating your capital on a smaller selection might be a good idea. There are many stores in Brooklyn where they sell mostly cheap vodka and brandy. In places like those, they wouldn't need to carry any Remy XO or Grey Goose. Similarly, a liquor store near wall street wouldn't need to carry much of Georgi Vodka.
