    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!

    I already do. I own and operate and ice cream truck and it's the happiest job ever.

    The one that drives through my neighborhood several times a day is kind of a beat up old van with smoke coming out of the tailpipe. It plays "La Cucaracha" and other wierdly inappropriate songs. It can be the middle of August and this dude is driving by playing Christmas songs or depressing stuff like "Send in the Clowns." It drives me nuts. :laugh:

    Dude that's creepy. I swear mine is legit and clean and while I do have la cucaracha, I don't play it much. : )

    A bakery, a gluten free bakery. I'd have a little cafe area with some book shelves that would have a swap system, leave a book- take a book (No Twilight, Dan Brown, or E. L. James, seriously 50 Shades of Sh*tty writing will be banned from the building), and I'd like to have a big comfy chairs for knit nights, book clubs, fangirl meet ups, etc. *sigh*

    Cupcake and coffee shoppe. Not necessarily healthy but I wouldn't be promoting stuffing oneself with cupcakes either. But the occasional treat. I have my own little home cupcake business now and the more I do this, the more I wish I could open my own place.

    I already own two businesses - a maternity/newborn/wedding photography business and also a web and graphic design business :) But in the future I would also love to own a coffee shop, a gym, a clothing store, a photography gallery, and a spa :) Plus, I'd love to get an actual store front for my two businesses now. But I'm working on that ;)

    A shop I live above and sell my hand made items. I would also like to sell items to people so that they can make their own stuff. It would be like a hobby store.
