eye glasses, return gifts etc.) will be available at store for all kind of event (birthday party, marriage anniversary, Halloween, Christmas, bachelorette party, baby shower etc.).A small website will also be needed for the business to grow exponentially. Any local place where such kind of stores aren’t working will be chosen for this project.
