Hi Phil,

Funny that you say that there's no need for a biz that caters to the college kids. About a year ago, 2 guys had this crazy idea. They decided to create a cereal "restaurant" where you can make your cereal anyway you want of any combination. The workers are in pajamas, and the "restaurant" is close proximity to the college.

Today that store is growing as we speak into multiple restaurants across America. They were featured in the Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. The businesses are out there....just got to find it. Keep thinking

This just popped in my head. How about a website, that does a textbook trading and or selling? Have a listing fee? May or may work. Give it some thought.
