It includes $2K in equipment, $1,750 in inventory, and seller financing at 5%.With 10+ years in business and a loyal customer base, it sounds promising—until you find out there's no guaranteed location or lease. That one detail sparks a lively debate on whether this is a low-risk side hustle or a logistically doomed venture.Michael, Bill, and Heather break down the seasonal business model, the importance of location in retail, and whether this business is worth buying—or just replicating from scratch.Subscribe to weekly our Newsletter and get curated deals in your inboxAdvertise with us by clicking here Do you love Acquanon and want to see our smiling faces?
