Note: This topic is for sales shops only, not for bars, inns or pubs. Please look in the Job Enlistment forum if you're interested in purchasing one of those establishments.
So, you're interested in becoming a shop owner.
The first thing you need to know is that there is a cost associated with purchasing a shop - any prospective owners must first pay 75 Galleons for their shop. This means that there is a chance that you wont be able to initially afford some of the other basics. Don't worry though, owning a shop is a sure fire way to make plenty of money.
A few guidelines do exist for PA's shops. First off you need to keep your shop looking fresh and active, you are subject to have your shop repossessed if it is not profitable, so be sure to keep it up to date. Any shop that goes longer than 90 days without any activity (including activity from the shop's owner) is at risk for being "closed."Admins are happy to sticky topics such as inventory lists or anything else you want stickied for you, so just ask. Changes to the system may be introduced at any time, so always keep your eyes on the announcements section of the site.
The current shops that are on Potter's Army are as follows:
Gringotts (OPEN)
Borgin & Burkes (Eulalia Dafour)
Daily Prophet Head Office (OPEN)
Eeylops Owl Emporium (OPEN)
Flourish and Blotts (OPEN)
Ollivanders (Under renovation)
Marchetti’s Wand (Aaron Marcheti)
Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions (Jessica Dark Heart)
Quality Quidditch Supplies (OPEN)
Weasley Wizarding Wheezes (Jaquellene "Jack" Dyllan)
Slug and Jiggers Apothecary (Lorcan D'Eath)
Wiseacre’s Wizarding Equipment (OPEN)
These shops each have a proposed inventory to accompany them which would be PMed to any prospective buyers. Shop owners can also add their own items to the inventory, however admin approval needs to be sought out before listing it for sale (So that there's not too much overlap between stores)
