    Idea: delivery location for clothing equipped with changing booths. You order online, try it on/keep/return. They handle shipback logistics.

        .@vgr @TimBeiko A potential use for empty suburban mom and pop stores? Some one should map them and calendar them and hire by the hour

        regular retail stores are getting choked to death by online sales for last few years. Will fall off a cliff soon.

        that's not what I'm talking about. All US clothing stores, online and offline, allow returns etc. It's the logistics that's nightmare

        .@TimBeiko Yeah, and nice thing is it scales neatly. You can start with just 1 location. Members pay $10/mo, +$1 per return handled for eg.

        Oh! Okay, that's different. That wouldn't work here because of labor costs and time sychronization difficulty.
