We are planning on opeing our shop in tn, does anyone know the requirments to open a shop? This will be out of a shop, not our home. Also is there certain equipment that we must need, Thanks!

I owned a retail bakery in TN. You need to contact your county health department for all the requirements. I also suggest you write up a business plan. SCORE http://www.sba.gov/ can help you with the details.
