I think the LAN thing is your best option.
There's another thread talking about the video game store idea and all the retailers that post on the site says you only mkae like 4 bucks a game, and that's if you're lucky.
Bottom line is if you are opening a business than it has to be something that speaks to YOU, ideas from the outside don't work if you don't have the passion to just shit your pants and dive in.

In my business class years ago I was told a fast food restaurant franchise. Places like McDonalds will research the location and decide wether or not it is needed and they will allow you to open one there. If it looks to them like it will not bring them the money they will not go along with it.
If you want to open your own themed restaurant it will take lots of work with the big possiblilty of failure, unless you can think of one helluva theme that someone else doesn't already do good.
Remember you will invest a lot, work a lot, and probably struggle at first.

Lol, but I do agree with JimmieMac, do something that sparks your intrest. If you like video games, go for a video games store. If you like LAN partys, bring that to other people. It's all about the passion.

whomever said lotto tickets are money makers is wrong, unless you sell a winnign ticket you make a penny or two from each ticket. the only thing it does is bring in customers.
on the other hand the liquor store business is cheap to get into and makes a good profit, you can walk into a 30% profit pretty easily.
Just research and make sure the location if right.
Id say its a good first business for sure. it allows for more mistakes in management than the other options you listed, imo

I think he's right, I mean, for those that live in a suburban community, if you think about it, how many local fast food places have you seen go out of business in your lifetime (for me, tonnes! And im only 16!)

Research. Research. Research.
Opening up a LAN party store? Make sure there is demand for it. It must be in an area near teenagers. Near a school would be better.
Opening a gas station? Make sure it's in an arear where there isn't one within a decent amount of miles. Same goes for a convenience store.
Whatever you decide to make, make sure it's in the perfect area. Just know, thjat taking risks is a good idea. Don't hold back, and make sure you advertise as much as you can. Internet, schools, stores, family, friends, anywhere and everywhere.

just don't open a Subway. I've worked for them for close to 10 years and it takes alot to make money. They do a shit ton of the pre-opening work for you but if you want it in a large city, locations are hard to find. Thay have rules and regs. about where you can place one. Also, right now in IN. franchisees pay out over 13% of their sales the have the privilege of owning a Subway and that doesn't include any of the overhead associated with a typical business! But on the plus side there are more Subways then McDonald's....

thats called franchising, every company has their own rules regarding franchising.
large corporations usually select franchisees from a pool, a bunch of folks apply and they select, it usually costs x amount just to buy into a frnachise, but you get some benefits such as established menus and advertising.
Id highly suggest going down to your local community college and taking some business classes.
I think it would help you a lot if you are serious.

Yeah I know.
I have just seen how they operate and know that that their franchise fees are sometimes 5% more than other franchises. I just don't think IMHO that it is something for a new entrepenuer to get into.
To franchise out they also want $$$ plus collateral. The one owner I worked for had to put his houses on in case of failure. A risk you take yes but how many are willing to lose their home in this kind of economy?
Just a thought is all...

[quote name='ryosnk']I have the ideas and layout for a place but I need some money.
So is their goverment grants or places where I can get assistants to open up a business (Gaming cafe)?[/quote]
They ususlly require a detailed buisness plan, inventory and all. Also its like a student loan, in that if you default you are screwed and it stays with you forever. My suggestion is to build up some capital, get your ideas together and open something up when all your ideas come into place.

Its easy to talk about doing something, but actually getting off your can and doing it is requires more effort than this.

Overall this is surely getting annoying. People ask for little thing like "where can I get a flyer" or something small and people responded like they own thising site (except CheapyD). I remember when this site was fun and people could ask anything about games and other things in life and people would respond with thoughts and ideas. I guess someone let the idiots in and they decided to run the place. Just my two cents!
P.S. When you post over 1000 post in just a few months it doesnt mean your the group leader it just means get a life!

Gas stations and liquor stores make a large profit (from check cashing too)....but put it near an interstate exit. And, it'll still cost a lot to open...so you better have at least $100K-$200, just for starters.
If you were in new england and serious about this, I would advise you to look into dunkin donuts. The people around here are really addicted to the coffee. Of course, location is everything. The dunkin donuts shop near penn state did horribly, as did the one near my parents' place in central PA.
Spend some time to figure out what the people in your local area want and find a good location for your store. I don't know how much cash you have access to, and that is a definate factor in what you can do. Also, I would talk to some other businesspeople to get some of their advice.

This man couldn't be further from the truth. I must say the fact that you are in the Chicago Metro area makes the fastfood thing a bit harder, since there are probably a lot already. That being said, I know the man who owns 3 Burger King franchises in my town and he is loaded. I mean not Bill Gates loaded, but he is definitely worth around 30 million. He has owned them for a long time, but franchises are a pretty safe way to go. They take away a lot of the risk. Of course, you don't get all of it, and you are limited in what you are able to do individually, but they are definitely a viable option.

If you want to make a lot of money in retail..
EASY!
SHOES and/or used-vintage clothing
you can buy used clothes by the ton (not joking) for pennies a pound and then you go through it and pick stuff out...in Chicago I am sure you could do very well with this market..
Also Shoes (especially ladies shoes) have at least a 40% markup and usually a lot more...as much as 300% actually....this is why many shoe places seem to be running a perpetual sale
People will ALWAYS need shoes and I think it is the rare person who buys them from the Internet...which means your retail front is only threatened by local competition which is easily avoided through common practices and techiques.
SHOES OR CLOTHES...You may not feel passionate about either but you will MAKE MONEY and then with the money you can buy whatever games you want...
If you want to hate video games and hate gamers...and make almost no money..then by all means..open a game store.

umm... back on topic!
if your going to make a gamers cafe, I say make it an overall cyber cafe where people can actually go to do research online and other, slightly more important things than just playing games. it'll really increase your customer amount.
Also, rather than selling games, renting games, IMO seems like it would be more profitable. Lets say u get a popular game for $40, rent it out for a week at a time for $5 (still cheaper than blockbuster) it just has to be rented 8 times before it pays for itself. If that still sounds like a lot, then sell it when the game gets old for $20 or so and you'll definately make a profit.
Plus, feel free to take games for yourself

Open up a strip club, and get some "extras" on the side 
We have a lot of game lan places that opened up recently along campus, making a killing, while we've lost a few game stores.
Also sushi resturants do really well over here. We have a ton of them. I used to be a chef too
And isnt it susposed to actually be?
Well me and some friends we talking about a show.

SHOES OR CLOTHES...You may not feel passionate about either but you will MAKE MONEY and then with the money you can buy whatever games you want...
If you want to hate video games and hate gamers...and make almost no money..then by all means..open a game store.
