Not only do I get a great meal when my wife and I visit Hunan Balcony on Johnson Avenue in Riverdale, New York. But I also get great advice.

But brick and mortar gets to be expensive.
In today’s technological world it’s easy to create a “retail store” and sell online… through eBay. In fact, you could set up an eBay store within a few days. You need a source for product and a place to store things. That’s about it.
And don’t forget Flea Markets.
