From my experience the people who have done well at this bought a round or part round from a retiring w.cl., you need a few to make it worth stopping the van.  Otherwise contact the store managers, leave a card and follow up at regular intervals, look for new malls and be the best on your block.

I agree with the fed man but if you find someone with a shop round make sure that it is properley priced as a few years ago i was looking at one in Surrey and the prices had not been put up for years :'(

I would say that is the worst possible work to try to get into at the moment is it a high street or a ghost town in a lot of cases,I would just just look to get better domestics they are bread and butter stuff.
