well 3 doors away is a cup cake business that I have never heard of!

But in the next street is a chaffeur business. I clilcked on it and instead of a taxi, it shows a plane!!

I have a Blacksmiths, Car Dismantlers/Scrap Yard, Caravan Sales and Hire, Caravan Site and a Flying Museum and a Kennels/Cattery, no wax melts or cupcake makers near me.

Christ Greyhare! Lol

Plumber, Chinese takeaway, stables, nursery school, nail bar, a photographer and the vets.

No cupcake makers <weeps>

ENoeuf · 20/04/2022 17:05

The MLM vibe is strong near me….

TheVanguardSix · 20/04/2022 17:15

I have a kinetic artist at the top of my road apparently...🙄

Yeah, me neither. Haven't a clue.

Heliotropium · 20/04/2022 17:19

No, there's a landscape gardener opposite

BlueThursday · 20/04/2022 17:44

There’s a rabbit hotel around the corner it looks so cute ☺️

Ariela · 20/04/2022 18:07

No cup cakes or wax melts.
However there are a few companies run by couples - how do I know? Well first half of his name + second half of her name - offering office services (HR, bookkeeping etc), and cleaning services.
There's a will writer, a side hustle jewellery seller, and a dent repair technician.

A ceramicist, doggy daycare, florist, giftshop, two cake makers. Lots of good stuff actually!

FourOclock · 20/04/2022 19:25

What's odd about a tractor showroom?

Nothing near me except a carpentry business

mewkins · 20/04/2022 19:32

Mobile disco and preservatives company. I actually know of a woman who dies wax melts near here but she isn't listed.

MiddleNameJane · 20/04/2022 19:32

A wax melt seller will be an MLM bot. Not a real business. Ditto Aloe Vera consultants, Avon ambassadors and Cambridge Diet gurus.

Tyredofallthis1 · 20/04/2022 19:41

Not near near me but on the road to the tip is a council house labelled Postive Economics Africa, Investment business. When I clicked onto the site, my antivirus blocked the connection.

It isn't even a big council house.

The house at the end of the road runs cookery classes, and there's a computer game seller just round the corner (believe me the chippy was no surprise).

I'm not on there... I have a business (online retail) and no sign of me. Nor of the plumber who does my gas safety checks and lives in the road. I guess we're incognito.

I'm sure there's the occasional person who makes and sells their own wax melts and that might be the case near you- but round here the "little businesses" run out of houses on Google Maps are very often MLM scams.

I do sell wax melts, online, no MLM. I buy from a wholesaler and ship to Amazon's warehouse. Not the fasting selling items.

I was thinking of making wax melt advent calendars for Etsy in Oct - just a few to test the water.

Littlebelina · 20/04/2022 20:28

No wax melts but nearby there are two different mobile discos on the same street. And a cafe in a middle of a field that apparently is open 24 hours a day thurs-sun (there is no cafe in said field🤔)

Well that’s bloody odd.

Sorry to legit wax melt people but it's Scentsy central round my way! Forever Living, too. Herbalife seems to be dying a death thankfully.

Omg. Look on Facebook

I just did! It looks SO cool on FB... a bit Big Lebowski Landlord's Dance Performance but still cool. MY kinetic artist however looks so very very very creepy and 'murderhouse'-ish on my local Google pics.

I just want the rabbit hotel. 😳

MissConductUS · 20/04/2022 20:40

Nothing near me. If I zoom out sufficiently I see a pizza place, a school, and a train station.
