My friend and I are interested in, maybe, opening up a clothing store for children in TN. Where do you purchase clothes, gifts and accessories for this? I know we would have to get licenses and wholesale numbers to do all of this but can someone give us any advice on "how to" get all of this started. I know it is easy to purchaseclothes in NY and LA but where do you do so in Tennessee? Any advice on opening a small business would be great!!! not just clothes.
