Doing some very rudimentary back-of-envelope calculations, are any of these economically viable?
For the 20 x 25 boite, selling your widgets, assume rent of $1,000 per month, wages of $4,800 per month (open 80 hours a week x $15 per hour wage x 4 weeks per month) and $200 other expenses = total monthly expense of $6,000. Assume
a 20% mark-up on your widgets, you need to sell $36,000 (20% of 30,000 = $6,000) of widgets per month just to cover this low ball estimate of expenses, or over $1,000 a day.
Presumably the developer has done a far more sophistocated analysis and determined that including these three retail units is a good idea.
No idea, although DTGalt hosts both a cheese shop and a chocolate shop, which is what put it in my mind. 80 hours per week seems very high to me. Think 11am to 6pm, five days per week.
