My husband I and just got back from a Caribbean cruise and wanted to see if anyone had any info on opening a shop and selling apparel on one of the islands? Just in the idea stages right now and wanted some info on pricing and where to start.

@krandolph69 I have moved this thread from the Welcome section to the General Harley Davidson Chat section as you will get better responses to your question in this section.
The Welcome section is more for introducing yourself & letting other forum members know what Harley Davidson you own.

curious what apparel you're considering selling
Carribean tourists hats 'n tee-shirts on a beach boardwalk space?
or something along the lines of hi-end boutique shop?

can't help really.
I'd suggest start by finding out what space is available and how much the rent is
the island chamber of commerce may be a good spot to start that search ?

/\ /\ /\ What Cap77 sez. You may not even be able to sell anything unless you're a citizen. (not everyone is like the US). I'd start with the country's requirements first..

What does any of this have to do with motorcycles, much less Harleys?
