Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] those of you waiting for a Fry's or BestBuy in Columbia...

Seriously if enough people want a big geek store why not form some kind of
group to work on getting one in Columbia? I'm sure if you could get a list
of a few hundred people that'd be interested in shopping there and at
least a couple of more respectable geeks to go to a bank with a real
business plan then you would have a chance of starting one yourself.
Usually franchise rights etc aren't that expensive or you could design
your own store if you liked that better.
