Ok so...
I have asperger's syndrome, and when my mom and I were buying sensory items (I have bad sensory issues) I noticed that we had to buy everything online. When I get older, I want to have a business that sells special needs items (like weighted blankets, fidget toys, swings, toys, med id, chew stixx, earphones)... I have'nt really found another store that does this. I've seen toy stores that have a special needs isle...but no stores that have items to suit all ages.

Anyway sorry, I tend to ramble...does anyone think this is a good idea?
P.S. The enviorment would be sensory friendly- not florescent lights, pastel colors, and no music playing in the backround. :D :D

It's something you should research further.

There is definitely a market... not sure how big the market is for a store like that.

It doesn't hurt to fully flesh out the idea before making a final decision on the idea.

I think you should you sell stuff for the "young at heart"- adult sized rocking horses, adult sized tire swings, adult sized musical rocking chairs, maybe even adult sized playgrounds and adult sized classic toys. I was just thinking the other day that there should be a proper place that sells that.

I think it's a great idea.

Not only do I think it's an excellent idea, I think it has the capacity to make waves in the NT world as well! I think you should do it! And I will be one of your first customers! (That means you'll have to open a store in Melbourne ha ha) :wink:

Certainly a positive idea. Have a look into what will needed to be done and see where that takes you.
