doing a business in Detroit (Dexter: prices, stores, suburbs)

[french paris]

Is it a crazy idea or a realist idea ?

We can say that we can get money anywhere...

What kind of business ? And what you think about that ?

[french paris]

Any opinion my friends ?

Well....... I guess nothing is impossible, but don't expect a business in Detroit to be very successful. I really do try to stay opptimistic and positive about the city but you have to look at reality as well.

If a business is going to be successful in ANY detroit area right now it is either going to be Downtown, Midtown, or any area near the Detroit/suburbs border.

You would have to create a business that's unique and not available in Detroit or the suburbs. And obviously prices have to be low if you want to survive in Detroit.

A grocery store. Those are rare in the city.

You do know liquor stores outnumber grocery stores in Detroit by a high rate around 25 to 1. That is not like anywhere.
