Excellent advice Ninja. We happen to have a JR's shop here in the Detroit area. Over the years I've become friends with the manager. Once asking him why the shop didn't expand or move to a larger building and put in a lounge, his philosophy was that it took up floor space for more cigars to sell. Basically if it's something you want to provide to the customer, don't look at it as a money maker.

Also from my personal observations, shops that charge you to use the space don't last long. The few around here that have are now closed up. Others that don't charge seem to be doing just fine, but then they carry the stock people want.
