My idea is to post on a message board asking others for business ideas. Steal said ideas and make millions
Gf and I have talked about buying a big old house in a smaller town and doing a B&B. Focus would be on motorcyclists, so it would be somewhere near-ish to a riding destination like the Pig Trail. We'd have a pole barn garage for bike storage, washing, maybe even some light maintenance.
This would be like a retirement-job, once the nest egg is secured and youngest is off to college. Something to do, keep us busy, meet different people, etc.

That's the result of the people who want to get high lying and convincing the state governments that it's for "medicinal purposes." If it's medicinal, you get a pharmacy type place. I'm not against it, but just be honest about it and say pot should be legalized for recreational purposes. Then the places to buy it will be more "fun" and feel welcoming.
Sorry. Wrong thread for that, but it hit something that's bothered me.
I have 2 service industry ones but I’m don’t have the expertise to pull it off.
NY style deli/bagel, I think there is enough crossover to consolidate both businesses into one. At the very least, I would like to see a breakfast cart for students making breakfast sandwiches and burritos. That I could probably pull off due to the little overhead.
my other is dog park cafe. A place you could walk your dog to, sit down and have a drink, alcohol, coffee, tea while your dog runs around chaperoned by team members or walk around with your dog and mingle with guests. Agility courses, grooming, homemade treats, there is a lot of addition revenue streams that could be tied with it. Biggest problem with this one is the seasonality and long winters here in Iowa.

I'm going to make a deal with employers to debit money directly from people's paychecks. I'm going to tell them it's going to be safely invested and will be available upon their retirement, meanwhile I'm going to spend it all on whatever I want and the young people will get screwed.
I've thought of this one as well, as an old house lover myself. We stayed at a place in Sturgeon Bay last fall that was exactly this. Big mansion that a retired teaching couple bought and maintained as a B&B (it was already one when they bought it). My wife loves to cook and I can handle maintenance, so it would be an option for us, too.
Not personal experience but observation of seeing someone open a deli/restaurant...to me the lesson learned was to have a few things that are done really well to start with instead of having everything and having to pair down and clean up an organizational mess.
Not an original idea, but real estate, specifically rental properties. I was going to make an offer on a property to flip several weeks ago, but couldn't secure lending (hard money lender) due to them putting a freeze on new loans.
Cafe with self serve chili machines. 4-6 main machines (regular, spicy, vegetarian, white chicken, etc). Can add multitudes of ingredients and then pay by the weight. Essentially like the frozen yogurt shops but with chili. I realize this won’t be sustainable 8 months of the year but I love chili.

My wife and I visited here when on a business trip. Had a garage door between the inside outside with doggy doors in case the door needed to be shut. We have wanted one of these in Des Moines for a long time. It was such a cool atmosphere. Pay to get your dog in the door $5 or something like that, then all drinks served in plastic cups etc. It was fantastic. (Plus Yuengling on tap doesn't hurt either.)
Yes. But they are more of an expensive novelty rather than just a good traditional donut. Also local over chain would help
You know how every truck has a tonneau cover? Well, design one that can convert to a crib, so your crawling child, (nephew in my case) can have more room.
Gentrification is your biggest issue, most places that have a downtown area big enough for you plan will also have protections in place to avoid gentrification. You would do best to to coordinate your expanding lot size projects in one section of town while building affordable (town houses?) housing in another, that way you can offset housing losses and improve on both issues.
