Recently I was on vacation in Branson, and one day the women were shopping at the different outlet malls. Every time I find myself in this situation, I wonder why someone doesn’t open a store for men. There is occasionally a tools store, but I still don’t want to spend all day there. Even if I were to shop for clothes, it wouldn’t take very long. (That’s just one of the areas where men and women are generally different.)
What I’m thinking of is a place where you can rent recliners for naps or to watch sports or play video games and/or eat nachos. I think there’s a market for it. I could justify spending a few dollars to do that while women look at clothes for hours. Maybe we should open one — I’m certain we could make it awesome.
We could also sell new versions of the equipment in there — TVs, game consoles, games, recliners, etc., and have it delivered. And we could sell off the used equipment at discount when it’s time to replace it. If people can play video games, you’d surely sell some of them. If necessary, you could occasionally show ads targeted at men, like for sports cars, tools, video games, action movies, flamethrowers, etc. Ideally you wouldn’t have to show ads, but still, I could tolerate a few if it meant spending a few hours watching sports or playing video games instead of sitting around.
