Another "Now Why Did I Not Think of That .. ??"
In and around the St Louis region, I have lately witnessed a new Commercial Phenomena .. so far, just observed at a Car Wash, however, Mr/Ms Google indicates there are several in the Local Area ::
An enclosed Station that allows Pet Owners to enter a Booth and wash their Dog .. they go by various names, however, the concept is all the same :: from the All Paws Website ::
"For many of us, a trip to a costly dog groomer is simply not an option, leaving us to resort to the only other choice we have — the bath tub — armed with a bottle of dog shampoo and a forced smile. While hardly anyone would consider washing and grooming a dog a luxurious activity, it is for your pet.
Luckily, even on a tight budget, you can treat your favorite pooch to the luxurious treatment offered by self serve dog grooming and dog wash systems. With a wide variety of scented shampoos, snacks and even hair dryers, your dog will think he’s at a spa retreat … and all at a price you can afford.
Visiting a self serve dog wash is an opportunity for your dog to relax and enjoy getting pampered. Many locations have double basins, ensuring that if you have more than one pet, each can stay safe and protected while you tend to the other. Dog wash systems have vending machines that offer all kinds of tasty treats for the well-behaved pooch. Additionally, many pet wash stations are found at car wash businesses letting you clean your pooch while your car gets scrubbed.
Cold outside? Not a problem because self serve dog bath stations have heated water, making even a winter bath warm and comfortable. Plus, before you step out into the cold, you have the option of using one of the high-powered hair dryers at the commercial dog washing station to add the finishing touches to your pet."
Once again, I slap my forehead and say "Why Did I Not Think of That .. ??" .. I can't say how successful these things are, but I'm sure there must be a Franchise Opportunity

.. today, I saw folks standing in line, waiting patiently for a turn .. I suppose the Homeless Populace will soon get wind of this, if not already .. Scented Shampoos .. ?? Treats at the Ready .. ?? Affordable .. ?? What would you do if you saw a Human taking advantage of this .. ??
