Default Re: OT: Is a 'themed' shop necessary to a (potential) customer??

If done right the facade could be simple retro '30's-'40's and the waiting room and office might be decorated thoughtfully and all this you must look at as advertising expense. It could be some simple decor such as a few road signs, and license plates. And of course you have a trove of used parts. Camshafts, crankshafts, valves, pistons, gears, & Etc. could be put towards artistic wall decor or exhibits. This would be my suggestion to get the most bang for the customers buck. After all you will need to do some advertising anyway and write it off somewhat.
