My neighbor is the best wallpaper guy in the city, which you’d think is extremely niche but wallpaper has come back in a big way. All sorts of businesses out there for those who identify needs and service wants. And the best way to know about a business is to work for an established one first

I’ve always wondered how the hell things like vacuum repair shops and other niche stores I still see around from time to time are still around.

It’s not that I don’t think anyone would choose to repair their vacuum. It’s more that I can’t imagine they get enough volume to pay the lease/rent/bills on whatever commercial property they’re on.

Love this one. You are selling people their time back with a service like wallpapering for sure.
