If you could run any business e.g. shop or cafe

What would it be?

Forget money is an issue and you can have all the money you need to make it work.

I like the idea of an old sit in library/book shop where I'd also do decent coffee and a daily cake.

I want to have a business called the party place.
It would have several themed rooms eg under the sea (for mermaid/pirate/octonauts/shark themed parties. Woodlands (for bugs/camping/fairies etc, and so on.
It would have a kitchen to make the themed party food, and at the front a cafe and play area for parents and siblings to be in while the parties were happening.

Nice! Can we have a jungle room?

And a space one!

small B&b by the sea ..Just one room to rent I don't want to overwork myself

I’d go with an interior’s shop. Accessories, maybe smaller furniture or window treatments to order. To keep the turnover going, probably things like home frangrance or some other little bits and bobs.

Exactly the same for me. I think it sounds like just about the best way to spend my time

Dogs welcome.

Have you ever actually worked in a busy cafe before? I find it hilarious that people think it would be a sweet little pleasant job full of smiles etc.

Maybe that’s some people’s experience of working in hospitality, but it’s certainly not mine!

Personally, I would love to own a business like my aunt has, she imports a specialist item for a certain industry, it’s totally niche, she has nearly no competitors, has been fine through covid (can’t say what it’s quite outing) - she has people working for her who run most things, so after a lot of hard work initially, she goes to the occasional meeting, checks on the numbers and watches the money come in

Wedding dresses! Just without the pushy brides. Just nice ones.

A specialist plant & tree nursery. It's something I already do as a hobby.

And a space one!

Yes a black room would be for space/Star Wars/magic/disco etc

Primary coloured one would be for things like toddler parties, Bob the builder, Thomas the tank etc

Jungle could be jungle book/explorers/Dora/snakes etc

A couple of years ago I had it all planned out in a notebook, o worked out the different price points for bronze/silver/gold parties, how many staff i would need etc etc Just don’t have the cash to do it!!!

Guest house in Greek Islands like in Mama Mia
