Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you are most likely either new here or completely retarded, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Yeah but I live in a municipality with a collective population of nearly 500,000. You wouldn't think you would have to go 35 miles down the highway to another municipality to visit guitar center. I am surprised there is not one in one of the shopping areas around my area. I go visit some of the local guitar shops once in a while and look at what they got and sometimes plug one in and crank it up for a minute, then I say thanks and leave.

Well, they can't have a GC everywhere, I suppose...

They may have seen the density of other guitar shops and opted for a market where they're more likely to dominate. You have a lot of local shops, so why compete there unless you have to?

Hmm...

I just checked to see if they were a franchise, but I don't think they are from a quick look.

But, there are music store franchises. I'd say I should open one in Farmington, but that'd end up putting a buddy of mine out of business.

You would figure they would try to have them in as many larger population centers, I suppose they are franchises so someone could pay them and open one I suppose.

I may have not typed clearly enough, I don't think they are a franchise. I looked and they didn't pop up.

There are other franchise opportunities, but I've not looked into any of them. I'm not gonna do that. I'm trying to fucking retire.
