If so you have got to admit that is incredibly subtle. heh heh Yeah the randomness is truly weird. Tying up floor space in a jeans store to sell a bicycle? I like your idea of the tailor shop. The whole concept here is strange. I guess the innovative concept that Lemonis introduced was carry enough inventory so that you stand a decent shot at having the right size. And then sell a bunch of miscellaneous crap on the side. But who knows, maybe it's a winner. If some goofball walks through the door a few times a year and decided to buy the bicycle, maybe that generates enough revenue to justify the bike's floor space.

I see some pretty good critiques here. Usually the businesses Lemonis invests in have something unique to offer, which has led them to generating a decent amount of sales, while not generating income because they lack business skills. These stores were selling quite a bit of product, but it is not clear why, the bar concept supposedly was the key but then that was scrapped as part of the "fix". The seem to still be in business and it appears they now have something like 6 stores, but what they have that other niche retailers don't is not at all clear. Perhaps a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Some staff who are good at working one on one with customers? Good choice of locations to serve their niche clientele? Ability to generate a small cult following sufficient to make the stores successful? The show really doesn't explain how and why these stores seem to work. I mean as dog eat dog as the clothes retailing business is, they must have something going for them.
