Yes, there would be people who do come to any alternative store in avoidance of H+F, and over time the business would grow, but like most of retailing you'd be fighting against high rent prices, internet retail and small and decreasing margins.

Dont wish to be a gloom merchant, but theres clouds on the horizon for the whole retail model at the moment ... the dynamic has changed radically over the last few years ... and will continue to change ...

You are making perfect sense and something I'm well aware of.
It would just be an add on to Terminator Products
Which is a division of my joinery company
I have my Dealers licence & have plenty of existing accounts with wholesales some of which are very keen for me to do something
I would only start small, it won't be that flash & open 7 days or anything silly like that.
It really will be a supply & demand thing.
I already have plenty if primers, 162 Amaxs, Bergers etc for my existing clients
We will have to wait & see
