We Did It! The City Approved Our Business! Welcome back to another episode of Building My Dream Game Store, where I'm documenting every step of opening Merritt Toys & Games and Rosie's Filipino Foods from the ground up. Today is one of the biggest milestones of this entire journey... Our business license has officially been approved! After months of demolition, rebuilding, painting, flooring, electrical work, inspections, permits, and countless hours of hard work, we finally received the call from the City of Merritt. Everything has been approved. We're officially licensed and ready to open as soon as the final setup is complete. This moment means more than just receiving a piece of paper. It represents every late night, every obstacle, every setback, and every hour spent transforming an abandoned building into two family-owned businesses. Now the final stage begins. The shelving is arriving. The wall grids are being installed. The display cases have finally been sourced from a Canadian distributor. The inventory keeps arriving. The point-of-sale system is being programmed. The store is beginning to feel like a real retail business. In the coming episodes I'll continue sharing practical tips about opening a retail store, maximizing small retail spaces, organizing wall displays, inventory management, and everything I've learned over the years operating game stores. This series isn't just about building a store... It's about showing every step of turning an idea into reality. Thank you to everyone who has followed this journey from the very first episode. We're almost ready to open the doors. #smallbusiness #businesslicense #entrepreneur #retailstoresimulator #gamestore #familybusiness #startuplife #businessjourney #grandopening #merritt #boardgames #retailbusiness #mikemartins #businessdocumentary #dreambusiness
