Starting up a newsagents

in the times we are heading into now..the best type of shop to open is either no shop,or else a pawn shop!
 
I'm looking at a newsagents that is coming up for lease, and being some 19 months since this thread was active I just wanted to ask if peoples views have changed towards this type of business. The lease on the shop has come up due to the owner passing away and is now in the hands of his wife.
 
It does appear that the forthcoming budget is going to take a real hammer on the domestic spend. Bearing in mind that the supermarkets have the same offers in the main as the small local shop, it is getting harder. There are three things that could make a business like this work : Location, Location and Location. And a whole heap of good luck.
