START A BUSINESS
Revisit this space often
for ideas in search of entrepreneurs. The ideas are, as billed, free for the taking:
Mobile
corner stores
Large food stores deliver big orders and convenience. Corner stores – the places one
could walk to and purchase bread, coffee and milk – may never return. Still, 'mobile corner stores' would be
nice.
Residents of densely populated neighborhoods, which are surrounded by congested roadways, would welcome
a van that arrives once or twice each week to sell the basics of life. (Dish detergent, tea, peanut butter and dogfood would
all be on the roster.)
Coffee shops and long-term care facilities – Open niche (huge)
Start a coffee shop in a nursing home or assisted living center. Create a vital link between the community and residents.
A franchise would be fine. So would a startup.
Build a trommel for the gardener
Call it a trommel, a sieve or a screen, but gardeners who weed and separate soil need a reliable device.
Mending bags
A torn seam, missing buttons, zippers demanding to be replaced… Not everyone
likes to sew. Collect customers mending in standardized bags. Set prices in advance for basic repairs; charge more for special
challenges.
