    Gifts/Antiques shop
    Bed & Breakfast

    I am already there though, so I kinda cheated ;-)

    Happy to go buy vintage clothing from the OP at her dream shop!

    Definitely a dog kennel and/or horse ranch.

    Let's go in on this together! I want to have a shelter for injured race horses to be rehabilitated and a dog kennel! My dream is to one day own a non-profit rescue!

    I would own a musical instrument shop and sell/rent instruments at a reasonable price ;)

    I would also host a fight club in the basement.

    My very own quilt shop with all the fabric I could buy! With long arm quilters that I would rent out so folks could come quilt their own quilts! And a section for crafts.

    Well, I do have an automotive parts business. Not as great as I hoped.

    I do fancy opening a personal training studio (maybe with the option of a 'cross fit box' style thing - I've got half the equipment and it'd be nice to be able to justify buying more and actually making money out of it.)

    I had looked at buying a gym before I went into the automotive parts - suspect it'd have ended up better if I had, but such is life.

    A very cool toy store - or a local artist gift shop/gallery. There is a toy store near my sister that I HAVE to go to each and every time I visit her. Love that place.

    A bar.

    One where I could officiate weddings/ funerals (I'm a Universal Life minister).

    I have a home improvements company at the mo but in the future I'd like to have a musical instrument shop. Fully stocked with a huuuge showroom, I'd also like to teach piano and guitar in the future.

    I would open an Inconvienience store. The gas pump hoses would be so short that your car would have to get really close to the pump and you'd have to get out of the passenger side door. The store would be consistant with outdoor temps to keep people from loitering, and youd have to pay with two different national forms of money. (I.E. U.S Dollar, mexican peso, or Canadian dollar, and Indian Rupee)

    A computer store with a gaming lounge for the kids to hang out in after school.

    I used to have my own software/consulting firm but my partner turned out to be incredibly shady and took off with the money. <cue sad face>

    I have been dreaming of opening a small restaurant with a drive thru window, that caters to healthy food. I would have options for low carb, low sugar, high protein, gluten-free, low salt, weight watchers, etc, etc. So whatever someone's dietary restrictions were, we would have something to suit them. I have found so many good recipes since I have been trying to eat healthier that I would love to share! I have been thinking if people could just get something healthy that they could eat in their car, instead of hitting the typical fast food places, it could be a popular place!

    Now, if I actually knew anything about running a restaurant, I might be able to make a go of it!
