That might be a mistake, Karl. I've watched souveneir type stores in Daytona on A1A and Main Street come and go over the years and many businesses have failed.

You should definitely care about the locals when selling those shirts---------they might just be what keeps you afloat during the hard times.

Well, I'm not really opening a 'souvenier store' technically. There is a huge market for what I am selling, as long as the location is right. It's definitely not a bad thing to be able to market to locals, but in this type of store, locals are rarely dependable throughout the year. That's probably why most of the stores in malls don't make it, from what I've seen. Here in Gatlinburg, NOBODY buys local, and it doesn't hurt us at all. But it may very well be different there.
