Can I copy the customer base from 1 side to another site?

I am intending to open another store. And would like to copy the customer base over, so that my customers can log in to the new site with the same info as the first site. Is it possible?

Yes,
You need to copy the database (or at least the customer tables) to the new site.

Use phpMyAdmin and do an export of customers and the customers_info table and re import into your new site....

You will be VERY sorry if you don't keep all the data together.
