Looking to open up a Craft Beer store. 1 Year, 2 Months ago Karma: 0  
Not 100% sure if this is in the right forum, but here goes.

I have been in the Liquor Industry for the last decade in wines and craft ales, but it has always been under someone else's roof, I am finally ready to open my own store, however, the thing I am not versed at is opening my own store. Ha. I am not looking for anything HUGE, yet I do want enough room for 3 large reachin coolers and one walkin(could be a walkin with reachin doors on front). and then shelving for the rest of the beer I am not keeping cold. I want to do 1/6 kegs, with the ability to order 1/2's.

What I am looking for is dimensions i shold be looking at as far as squarefootage is concerned, I don't want a warehouse but I also do not want a closet. What would be a solid "starter store"? Any of ya'll that have a store I would appreciate the help. i have always worked in larger stores, even though we have kept the focus on highend wines, liquors and beer. Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Hey man, first of all welcome to DrinkCraftBeer.com!

Unfortunately my answer is going to be only a little helpful. Definitely check out ProBrewer.com. Personally, I have no experience opening a retail store so anything I told you would be BS. Also, maybe go find a couple stores doing something similar in your area and see what kind of space they have.

Best of luck! Keep us updated!

Mildly obsessed... so you don't have to be!
