Default Re: two questions for business owners

[ QUOTE ]
suppose a guy owns and manages his own deli.

1. why doesn't he open another deli somewhere else?

2. why doesn't he hire someone else to manage his deli? is it because he would rather receive X dollars for managing the deli himself, in which he turns 'his own business' into an hourly wage job.

[/ QUOTE ]

Most small business people are simply buying themselves a job. Multiple locations don't make sense because the business model can't support the cost of a manager, any profit is simply the owners salary, often less than a manager would take to run the same business.
