Shopping Centre stall ideas??

Looking to start up a wee business and thought this would be a good place to start. Any ideas of what to sell that hasnt been done before?

My head hurts from thinking!!

    I would suggest that you visit your shopping centre and talk to the manager - how much would the stall be - are there any available - where are they within the centre - are you allowed to sell things which compete with the existing shops.
    Make your decision from this starting point and you will know what you have to aim at. They are not a cheap as you may think!!!
  • Don't expect others to tell you what to sell. It takes a lot of work to build a business and you will have to go out there and do research. Then do some more research. There's ground work to do before you set up a business as otherwise you will fail. If we all knew what to sell that's not been sold before we would be selling it!

    Think about the question you have asked.

    If it hasn't been sold before, then it probably doesn't exist or is unsuitable for retailing.

    If you are looking for a niche market, it is far better to sell something you're passionate about, or at least have an interest.
