Can I really own my own business selling Rethunk Junk by Laura?

Step One - Find a Place to Sell
Rethunk Junk by Laura Retailers do need a public location where their paint display is accessible to the public during consistent weekly business hours. This can be your own brick & mortar shop, but if you're not ready to jump in that deep, you can always rent a booth at an antique or market-style shop in your area. These leases are typically very affordable and short-term which makes them a great way to get started! Find some markets near you and ask about rent, commission, & store hours to get started! Pro Tip: Ask them if there would be an opportunity to offer painting classes in their shop!
