Complaint Review: Discount Retail Store Services - Las Vegas Nevada

Discount Retail Store Services tell you that you can start a clothing store with quality clothes for under $10.  They tell you that is is only 89,900 to open up a turn key franchise.  They do all the work and then give you the keys.  That my friends is incorrect.  The clothes are not great quality and they are not under $10.00.  They do provide you with services of fixing your debt to create more debt but they set you up for failure.  Out of the $89,900 you only get 20,000 of inventory and $5,000 on the furniture, signate, some capital and fixtures.  The rest goes to them.  They do find you places but the demographic surveys are out of date.  You still have to meet and pick a place. You still have to do all of the constructions and pay for it yourself. You still have to do all of the marketing and pay for it yourself. The companies they send to you to fix your credit and provide you with the funds, take a percentage of the money the get for you.  For example if they get you  80,000 worth of credit cards they take 1 to 3 percent of it.  They get you credit lines as well and again take a percentage of it.

You should not do business with them if you do not have the $89,000 in your bank account.  The amount of debt they will put you in, you will be claiming bankrupcy after a few months.  They tell you the store can produce money but then tell you a different story once you sign the purchasing agreement.  A women's clothing store with all of the competition online will only produce $1000 to $4000 a week if you have traffic.  Again if you have traffic and there are at least 4 to 6 months out of the year you will not have a lot of traffic. It could produce the higher end if of course  the clothes had the quality  they stated and they do not have another boutique selling the same clothes around the corner.  The jewelry and hand bags fall apart.  The clothing falls apart before you even wear it. 

I had to hirer a stitcher to repair the clothes as they came in.  The cost of the clothes are high so in order for you to make any money you must price high but the clothes are not worth the price.  Once you start seeing more returns then sales, you know there is an issue with sizing and quality.  They do not want you to follow labor laws.  They tell you, that payroll should be minimul which means you yourself working and not paying yourself.  Yes this is what a all mom and pop store do, but when you want to bring quality clothes at a reasonalbe price and survive you must think like a business person and brand yourself.  You must have great hours and in order to do this, you must hire help.  Even family needs to take a break for lunch.  They expect you not to give them breaks and break all labor laws.  In order for payroll to be minumal you must pay under $10.00, that is great in some states, when you can hire teenager to run your store but what if you work a day job and need an adult to run your store? 

If the clothing had the quality they stated then possilbly a clothing store can survive, but make sure you have smaller sized women and teenagers in the area.  They do not have correct women's sizes or plus sizes.  All of the clothes run very small. The wholesale mall they set you up in also has credit card fraud.  Once you do multiple purchase, you will start seeing other charges on your credit card that do not apply to clothes.   The vendors you do direct purchasing from, will take a deposit and then not send you the product.  Still waiting for one vendor to send me either my deposti or my product.  It has been 6 weeks.

Do not do business with them, as a clothing store of any kind.  They are better off sticking with cheap products sold at $1.00 stores.
