I am thinking of buying from a friend in Poland, and selling them for less than the store's in Chicago charge. Do you think this could work?

I may, even, if this goes over good, open a small shop, and sell many Polish items. Do you think this would work?

I like your enthusiasm, unfortunately, I know of several small Polish stores in Chicago that have closed up over the past year or so.

You would have to compete with places like, Rich`s Polish deli and liquors, A&G`s and

Plus there are many more Ma and Pa type places left.

These huge supermarkets already have everything you can get in Poland here for cheap prices, not to mention you will have to deal with the FDA in regards of importing food.

Best of luck to you though, I encourage small businesses in our area but do your research:)

Yeah man, don't open a business in Chicago.. or any damn place in the USA for that matter, until the economy gets sorted out. It's getting better, incrementally anyway.
