Midsize shopping center, 18 empty locations, a big gym is opening up....what kind of business would you open up with a 1600, 2600, or 5000 sq ft of space.

retail businesses is a dangerous game, even those who stay around in most cases barely break even

The key is not to make money, its to make just enough to do whatever you want and write it off.

Pink's Hot Dog stand.

I never tried one but the one here in LV always has a long line.

Ditto for In and Out Burgers .... Always full of hamburger fans.

Sugar Shack here always appears empty.

Doggy Daycare is a great idea especially in places were the weather is real warm. (I'd break a car window if I saw an animal suffering from the heat while its owner shops.)

I think Keith actually did that once.

I'd stick signs out front "MMA" ...."be like a UFC fighter" , buy two octagons, matts, pads etc...hire some shitty ass trainers and charge out the ass for membership fees and completely take advantage of parents whose kids force them to join because it's cool and they want to be a ufc fighter.

I've come () this close to doing that, but would probably be arrested. I never walk away from that situation. First, I call the cops (around here they will respond), then try to find the owner and rip them a new one once found & hand them a flyer from http://www.mydogiscool.com/ Every time, the owner has been completely obtuse to the whole thing and then I feel bad for berating them publicly. I think I almost caused a divorce over it once. (will look for past post)

Ready for flames

Good luck with In N Out Burgers. Phil Mickelson tried to buy a franchise (he wanted one closer to home to eat at....true) and they turned him down. They are extremely picky and want very hands on ownership with a proven track record....but anyway, just thought it was interesting.

Plus it helps that they're a Christian company.

How so? Financing? Franchising?

SHOW, I ALWAYS thought that In n' Out was strictly family owned and not a franchise. I asked about that about a year ago because they were always very busy .... tons busier than any McDonald's I've ever seen.

Christian businesses tend to be a little more trustworthy in their business dealings and finances. Most run on little to no debt

Jesus was a broke moron who could not manage any funds because he was too lazy to work for any.

Ill invent a massive store/mall called "America Land"
full on all the fast food places you can think of, 2 Gun shops, 5 stripper joints, 420+ beers on tap though the store, and every inch of the inside walls covered in TVs that only play porn, and reality TV shows.

Didn't know. You have any citations to back such a claim?

fixed, and that sounds like a good idea. Japanese and Middle Eastern tourists will flock to this during the summer.
