From securing a location to stocking your store, you need funds from somewhere or someone. If you don’t have a savings large enough to start out, consult your bank to explore a few options, and don’t be afraid to shop around for the best interest rates for a loan!

Also, another big requirement is that you have the state, county and/or city’s permission to go into business. You will need to register your business with the state and on a local level, depending on requirements. Not only with this make your business name official, but it is the legal way to go about things, ensuring you’ll be paying your taxes.

Finally, you’ll want to pick a busy location with lots of road and foot traffic. Gift shops tend to thrive well in downtown areas, especially when those downtown areas often have festivals going on! Shopping malls or busy strip malls are also a great place to look. Once you have a location, it’s time to start thinking about gift shop names, if you haven’t already!
