Small gift shop vs cart-based
Hi everyone,
I'm very excited to be a first time poster here! I'm new to the Children's Museum world and have found this forum to be extremely helpful. We are in the process of building a new Museum and are trying to decide between having a small gift shop or a flexible cart style 'shop'. I'd love to hear the pros and cons of each.
Thanks much,
Donna
