As close as you can get to the largest gym in the area. Make it easy for your target market.

Not so tough as into starting off but tough to get it to a point of making a living from it without dipping into the illegal side unless you are getting really good prices on your supplements with a good customer base; which is hard nowadays as everyone is starting to buy online. Some online stores can't be beat with pricing so that area is even tougher to get into.

Completely saturated market dude. IMO dont bother.

If you want to be competitive, start a website and offer deals similar to truesupplements.com in terms of bulk orders and such.

The best location is taken: Bloor X Younge has 3 gyms and teh village closeby plus tons of traffic and walk ins.

SND and Popeys belong to the same owner and it would be really hard to compete with them if you can't get great prices as they are established and have a good customer basis.

You have a chance there if you have something different to offer because they have price and variety already.

The only way that I see to someone to get into this business is to have a shitload of cash, make his own supplements and sell/promote himself.

Best quality + low price + money back guarantee are unbeatable.

You can only pull this one if you know the business inside out, have a great relationship with suppliers and has a great marketing plan.

Well I do have the cash and know the business and suppliers and what not. Theres no popeyes in Toronto other than downtown so I figure uptown in the sheppard and bayview or yonge area would be good cause theres so many gyms...
