odd Business combinations

**tooklean** · 08-21-2006, 08:41 AM

I most recently read an article in my newpaper that talked about how some small businesses have branched out from their main concept to add additional services i.e greenhouse/ ice cream stand, barber shop/ smoke shop and they seem to be finding some degree of success. I myself have a parttime detail shop and a few weeks ago I started purchasing small quantities of scrap metal copper, aluminum cans from the general public at or below market prices and reselling at higher prices to a well established scrape yard. It seems to keep me pretty busy and its a way to make a little more revenue when I have no cars to work on. Please share if you have tried odd business combinations.

You`d be able to sell Mud Flap Lady accessories (hats, car fresheners, even mud flaps) to clients of both businesses:

I was innocently Googling for bling grills (gold that you place over your teeth), and I found this web site:

If you look carefully, you`ll see that one of the caps has the Mud Flap Lady!

I just saw this picture over on MOL of a shop outside the US (don`t recall where) . . .

I thought the combo of detailing, home theater, and massage was a little odd. It would be nice to get a massage while your car is getting detailed though.
