Rent space at one of the train stations... like that sandwhich shop, Elsie's (was that the name?).

Firstly, this store would be awesome if you were able to pull it off. As they say, only invest what your willing to lose. Maybe you could merchandise a some NG stuff to raise funds for the NG store that has lots of exclusive awesomeness.

Secondly, I am officially putting in my application for the store. I am a 21 year old male currently living in Central PA and am willing to relocate to Glenside. Not to mention I will work for whatever you pay me as long as I have food and shelter.

Lastly, w00t yes an NG store!!! Good luck.

YES. Hi Tom give me a job.

Ziper27 2007-09-25 12:30:28

I think its a great idea tom really...
but i dont thinK NG is ready for that yet...i think it would be moving to fast. Economically i think it would be a disaster, and it wouldnt make that much money. NG is EXTREMELY recognized - but not well enough unfortunately to warrent a store front. Not yet anyways.

But do i see an NG store front in the future. Definately. Remember, your priority is your website and the prizes you give!

Sounds like an excellent idea, and if I lived anywhere near it I would be a regular visitor. And I think that you could also make a bit more money from selling merchandise over the net aswell, which could easily bring you the numbers you need. I think it's a pretty sound investment myself.

good idea, but it seems like you're in the middle of nowhere. You have to start somewhere, though.

Hi Tom!
I'm one of the few women on Newgrounds...
Leave a message in my userpage plz.

Milesaway13 2007-09-25 19:21:42

I think it's a great idea.

TheProdjulum 2007-09-25 20:06:57

Only if you ship things for free, ;D.

D-Apathy 2007-09-25 21:02:21

do it, thats really cheap for a store, and 16 items a day is not too hard to accomplish, although, your store dosent have too many things that "appealing" so i figure sell games or DVD's and whatnot.

LordZeebmork 2007-09-25 21:33:04

I would definitely go to a Newgrounds store if one were ever made.

Grimfenix 2007-09-25 22:09:28

I would DEFINITELY buy something there!

GermanSoldierLock 2007-09-25 23:38:22

Make it an Internet Cafe/Merchandise Store Combination, Internet Cafes are actually pretty successful for multiplayer gaming

PRETTY SWELL IDEA HUH YEAH DO IT

captaingoat1 2007-09-25 23:58:50

well tommy boy, i would like to leave some insight. dont do it. newgrounds is popular and such but i think it would be a financial black hole. its a S*it load of money and i dont think u will make much. i mean, how many people in glenside actually know of u guys and would there be enough people there to buy all that stuff to keep u guys alive? and at 50 000 k i think its a gigantic risk with the odds against ya.

Sidorio 2007-09-26 15:35:15

If I lived any where remotely near it I would visit it.

Reaperyami 2007-09-26 16:40:26

Don't forget advertising, Not to be mean Tom, but Newgrounds isn't as far known as we'd like it to be. Maybe some sort of internet cafe/store/strip club?

voidshatter 2007-09-26 20:00:29

dreams... good times

LazyMuffin 2007-09-26 20:04:26

Obviously I'm not gonna read this whole thing, so I'll get to the point.
I want an idea for a Halloween animation... got anything?

kthanks.

Wildcard5 2007-09-26 20:52:54

It sounds like a good idea, but you may want to hold off a while to save up some money.

xaldibik 2007-09-26 22:08:22

I like the idea of a NG store, I'd love a place to go and buy something different or weird without having to go to something like Hot Topic(Which really is just playing off the goth fad more and more).

Also, the first thing that comes to mind when I hear about a newgrounds store, is DVD's. Not main stream, but flash from the site, maybe making a DVD of the best flash from the previous two weeks? Or just some awesome flash from the history of newgrounds. This could draw attention to newgrounds, and maybe some individual artists. I defiantly see more people showing off DVD's of flash, rather than going to some website to show it off.

Though, I'd hope to see the DVD's on the website if that ever went into action. Living in Alaska, I'd never be able to get down there and buy them from the store. Of course, I'm not sure how well they'd sell on newgrounds, since you can just go watch the flash on the website. Maybe contact some of the better artists to do longer flashes for a newgrounds DVD? Anyway, that's just something I always thought would be cool.
