Business idea:
Malls across the U.S. have been in decline. Buy a struggling mall and bring it back to its former heyday of the 80s/90s.
Bring everything back to how it looked then…food courts, movie theaters, department stores, etc. People would love it, you’d make a killin’.
If anyone wants to invest, seed round opens now. Starts at $1,000,000
I think an interesting mall idea would be to only host local entrepreneurs/artists. People don’t go now cause all the corporate stuff can be bought online
The nostalgic pull of this idea is powerful...😃
I fear the sad reality is that you would need far more magnetism to pull the couch potatoes out by their roots.
Add to that runaway inflation, insane taxation on brick-and-mortar enterprises, the ease and speed of Amazon.😳
Maybe when we're on a bitcoin standard? Or, *maybe* if you can pull off making it an agorist, free-city, libertarian enclave sheltered from the bureaucratic taxing hoarde?😜😆
Do you have a business plan for this? What are the Target cities to launch this in? Have you done Projected financials (balance sheet/p&l)?
I had an (admittedly incomplete) thought to build low-income housing attached to a defunct mall. They would have jobs at the mall and they would have shops and services close by so they wouldn’t necessarily need transportation every day. The mall could offer services like physical and mental health clinics. It could be its own little circular economy to a point. The risks would be it turning into a “company town”, and making it attractive enough to non-low-income folks to come and spend money there.
