Just one? Knowing how expensive commercial rent is in this area, I’m pretty sure quite a few of the stores around here are fronts. No way this town supports 12 different nail salons. There’s a taco shop and a greek place in the same shopping center that both taste terrible and are always completely empty. How does a vacuum and sewing repair shop stay in business in this day and age?
Lots of people are having their stuff repaired instead of disposing and buying new. Those tailors custom size your clothes, do embroidery and patching, in addition to repairs. Shoe repair shops will restore leather, resole boots, and give them all a good shine. I’ve never had a vacuum repaired, but they’re pricey enough that I’d definitely try that first. Check out your local repair shops. They probably do good work, because they get a lot more practice than you might think.
When i see rent in some places i always have to do some math to figure out how much money they have to make to pay rent and one or two salaries. And i often don’t get it. There is an old town that is kinda nice, but not that much foot traffic, and rent is insane because it’s in the middle of an old town. Many stores and restaurants open and then close again, because they go under. But there is a computer store that is open as long as i can remember. And not like a cool hacker, i’ll sell you an rtx 5090 shop, a shop that still has a y2k sticker on the window and they still sell you McAfee for your pc. Absolutely bizzare
