I think a Queen museum is a better idea.
Then again, who is crazy enough to display their rarities in the middle of nowhere?

Like I said though, there will most likely be a section in the store for used LPs and vinyl singles, maybe even new CDs. But it'll mainly be a Queen store, as I want to carry all the old singles and have at least two of each single stocked in the store at all times. I'd like to offer collector's singles as well (hard to get ones).
I was also thinking about another non-Queen section. What I mean, is I'd like to create a section for local bands on indy labels to sell their music. In fact, I'm interested in producing and writing music for some, and maybe even create my own label for bands. There are a lot of great bands out there, who go on forever looking for a label. (Far off topic, but I'd even like to write songs for pop stars like Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, and Haley Bennett).
Currently, and for the past few years, there are no retailers that carry any music in my town. The last time there was, it was Ames Department Store, but they sold out to Kmart or something. That was like six years ago. There is a place in town that carries TONS of used cassettes, but the only Queen cassette they ever have is Made In Heaven or Greatest Hits.

That'd be fun, wouldn't it be neat to have a Queen exhibit like in the Queen+Wyclef music vid to Another One Bites The Dust?
Anyways, a nice huge Queen museum would be great, but it'd probably have to be in London or some big huge city.

Now, if can handle the extra expense and fuss, why not add a Queen/classic rock themed cafe to the mix? It's a safer venture and it can help attract rock fans who'd be interested in your merchandise.

To make a cafe, it takes a lot of work and a lot more laws are involved.

I think it would be a cool idea for a flea market setting (weekends only). You could also make a website and publicize your flea market locations in advance.
I've always thought about doing that actually. I think it'd be awesome...I'd probably be in debt after shopping there, but I'd be happy! :D haha Good luck with your idea Jake! Wish you the best because I do think something like that should exist, somewhere. Whether it be a shop or a museum...whatever, especially in the U.S. We always seem to be the ones who get jipped out of all that good Queen stuff-at least where I am.
