2. Are you in an area where there is enough business?  Please also make sure you are not situated too close to another Planet Nails Store. Click here for a list of the existing stores.  If you are close to an existing Planet Nails store, then it will not be viable for you open in that area.
3. Are you already involved in the nail or beauty industry? Having some knowledge of the products can give you a definite advantage.
