The next big thing?

[eek]

Agreed. I think the combination of Children's shoes and school clothes, perhaps with guides/ brownies etc

The supermarkets do cheap school clothes though, so would need to think.

Daltons is always a good tool to use. Look up the business your interested in and then read the ads. Gives you turnover, margins, size shops, how muc stock they hold etc

Nah, I know my next plan for Mrs Eek. They are probably closing the local library so my plan is to reopen it as a coffee shop while keeping a few PCs for internet access...

Separately if you do want to do something with a larger reach The inevitable by Kevin Kelly shows how everything is going to end up computerized over the next 30 years...

Still think your previous idea of soft play is a goer.... The people who own the one local to us opened a teenage one a while back (has a bar for adults and provides rollerstaking, laser quest and 10 pin bowling).. You just need a large warehouse unit and change of use...

Wife was saying the same for teenagers. My issue with that business is large initial expenditure and no way out if it goes wrong. You lost a lot of money

Not a bad idea. What about the books though?

A couple of mates have done "Escape Rooms" - there seems to be a couple of franchises going. Reading or Guildford would be a great location.

Sounds like a good plan. Secret boat trips to Calais followed by stay in Escape rooms.

Farcking sorted, like !

Gone.... I need the space for sofas....

The great thing is that we still look like heroes just by keeping the information access side open...

Not sure how long term they are. I mean how often can you play the same puzzle...

I saw something like that the other day. Seems very hipster to me. Won't last long.

Don't fancy selling books? Water stones model is now as a destination with coffee and books.
