Continuing with the discussion about experience based on experience, what happens after everyone in the city tries? Are these businesses?
Sheila Scarborough raised the question in this way:
How do all these places think for the launch and escape room of axes in business after a few years?
The main street expert, Jackie Wolven, weighed:
In a tourist community they could be fine if they keep it fresh. But like any small business, if they are not earning money, Willy will close and move forward with something else.
I was also thinking with the current popularity of shows such as Game of Thrones, Last Kingdom and Outlander … The launch of the ax is probably a cultural phenomenon. And the true fandom of crime is so rabid that it could be driving escape rooms.
The Hat Bar: Customize your own hat
We have spoken before about the candle bar in Bellefontaine, Ohio.

In Caldwell, Kansas, there is a retail business called Rustic Lonchorn Co. that has a hat bar. I had to ask what a “hat bar” was briefly. They sell hats that can customize on the site. Choose a cowboy hat or a truck cap. Choose your hat band, patches or other decorations. Assemble your custom hat right there in the store.
Did people get tired of making hats?
But how many custom hats really needs this city? They get a lot of tourism of the western theme, so it can have power of permanence.
When everyone in the city has enough hats, They can change it for a new experience later. The store as a whole remains, even when the experiences change.
The entire small cities company has to work to maintain its fresh and relevant offers.
