 ** Disadvantages - We take on a lease... if we don't make enough money to cover the lease we lose.  We take on more paid staff hours.  Lots of planning would need to be in place.  Some aspects of our existing store are very hard to make portable, especially Tech Support.
-* '''Satellites with a different stock''' - Could be tailored towards a specific neighborhood more. Theoretical example:  Small whole-system sales store on westside, more parts-oriented store on the eastside or north.  Could work around problems like Tech Support by selling the products in a different way.

 **Advantages - Flexibility
 **Disadvantages - We potentially would have to come up with a variety of new systems to make it work. Same money disadvantages as above.
 * Considerations for a store/drop-off site (this might be better as a separate page if it seems like we are going this direction)
 * Type of store might be impacted by the neighborhood/suburb it is located in.
