Nomads Store House is applying for government grants to fund the opening of a new store that will specialize in comics, toys, cards, and other collectibles. The grant money will be used not only for securing a location and inventory but also to acquire a company vehicle for participating in shows, hiring employees, and covering insurance and security costs. Additionally, part of the funds will be allocated to maintaining the store building.
Over the next five years, the business plan includes expanding the store's size and/or locations, which will create job opportunities. There is also a strong community focus, with plans to engage in initiatives such as feeding the homeless, funded through retail sales.

In terms of competition, the applicant acknowledges Zs Comic Lair, which, while fairly new and not yet a direct competitor, is well-organized. Ricks Comic City and Great Escape are other competitors, with established histories and multiple locations throughout Tennessee. The applicant believes their experience as a customer at these stores will give them an edge, as they plan to employ knowledgeable staff who provide friendly service. The ultimate goal is to become a leading player in the Antioch collectible market, offering the best products and services available.

Business Plan
In five years the idea is to expand size and or locations giving opportunities of employment. I would also get to the level where I can help with the community through feeding the homeless and other projects through the sales of the retail. Investors should invest in my business because I’m driven and determined. I’ve worked hard for others for years giving my all. I believe in hard work. But I believe the best way to find a satisfactory career is to work for myself. I believe your either building your dreams or your building others dreams. I have a long understanding of the business I’m pursuing. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Self Identified Competition
Zs Comic Lair though not competition as of yet they are fairly new in the business as a comic shop. They are very organized and successful. I believe they are a true player in the business. The only gain for me would me they are located in Murfreesboro Tn Next would be Ricks Comic City Located in Donelson they have been in the business for a few decades now. They have multiple locations through out Tennessee. I see them a a competitor due to being closer to Antioch and the more Experienced player. Finally I would have to say Great Escape also with many locations but many years in the business. They have a variety of collectibles but depending on location only have a limited amount of new books in stock. What makes me different from the competition is that I’ve been a customer at these locations for years. I know the do’s and fonts from my experiences. Some have employees that are not knowledgeable of the products they carry. It would be a must that my employees should know the product and have a helpful and cheerful attitude. I would strive to be great player in the business in the Antioch area. My goal is to carry the best products and services.
