I remember this same topic/thread was posted a few years ago (with a good number of replies), however, nothing ever came of it. Hent, are you just "curious" of member's opinions or are you really and truly going to open another location? Of course I would LOVE to have you open a west coast location here in California, however, as a self-employed independent California business owner for over 35 years, I would advise against it. Sadly, California has become about as business UNFRIENDLY as you can get.

Can I change my vote to MI? I just realized I'd save four hours off of my weekly 34 hour trip to OldMiniBikes Warehouse in PA, if you moved it to MI. Note, I wouldn't actually buy anything there, due to the 6% taxation, nor would I come during the eight months of Winter, but yeah, this would be a real time saver for me.
I would say CA, but I know how much we (now) hate that place. Because of (insert dumbass political comment that doesn't belong on a mini bike forum here), but at least you can hang out in the warehouse and smoke weed and screw with your (illegal of course) employees by putting the 1/2 inch bore bearings into the 5/8 inch box, and attach every single paper clip to each other at Vickie's desk, and not freeze your asses off.
Moreover, we can team up and attend one of those highly regulated, non smoking, non farting mini bike events there in public parks, and illegally start our mini bikes when it's not "start your mini bike time" and go the extra "criminal mile" and ride it around the grass, WHILE SMOKING A CIGARETTE! I'll even bring my dog and fail to pick up one of the turds.
California or Mitchi-gitchi-gumi, all good for me.

WOW! Lot of haters on this thread!
Cali sucks with all those earthquakes and nice weather all the time! We only have one season here, the good one!
I would much rather be in a depressed state, with sh%&%Y weather, tap water that is not safe to drink, low income, crime, high unemployment, horrible roads, and that BC weed!

You might consider Indiana. It is centrally located and very business friendly, particularly if you stay out of Indianapolis. Mooresville, about 20 miles southwest of Indianapolis is a very nice place to live and offers business incentives. Indianapolis wants your business and probably offers incentives but you would be forced to heavily subsidize the Colts football team, the Pacers basketball team, minor league baseball, hockey, soccer and women's backetball, teams, and a bus system that is expanding but typically serves 0 to 5 people per route.
