For anyone who has a store front commercial facility that does primary rug cleaning and or as one of it's services.
Do you feel that by having a store front facility brings you more work? Rather than an industrial location where you won't get as much exposure?
If you're building is located in a busy street where you had say 1200 sqft or less of actual floor space to setup a rug "spa" facility, would you go take the risk and go with the higher overhead/lease vs an industrial location where you won't get the exposure to passing by traffic?
We are trying to figure out if we should lease a smaller warehouse in a busy intersection/traffic light, it's own building (not in a strip mall), within 20 feet of sidewalk/3 lane street, w/ very good exposure (bank of america, walgreens, att, ihop as it's neighbors - but not attached to the actual building itself), but pay higher rent w/ consideration that the location will bring in drive by new business bi-weekly to monthly direct mail/online ads campaign or get a larger to double the space facility/warehouse for less money but not be visible to any passing cars/traffic/civilization and rely solely on direct marketing/website.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
