If I Ever -Own a Tourist Store

If I Ever open my own store

You know, like one of those gift shops stores. A touristy sort of store? 

I would be the trend setter. 
I would be the one who would introduce something new to sell for each tourist season. 

I would place the new items in the windows to catch the customer's eyes.
And slowly rotate my stock to the back of the store.
I would probably have like a five or six year rotation. 
Where stock would move further away from the front of the store with each year, until I send it into storage for a couple of years.
And then....bring it back to the front.

Because it's not unusual once one store starts selling something like crazy, for other stores to want to get in on the action, until every store on the block is selling the same items. 
*shakes head*

That's why I would be the trend setter.
And then, once the product was inundated everywhere else, I would take it off the shelf until it disappears from other store's shelves, and then start it anew. 

Because it's rather frustrating, to visit one store and know...that you've basically seen everything that is in all the other tourist stores as well. 
You'd think stores would try to keep themselves a bit more unique....

Which is why, if I ever own a touristy store...I'm going to do just that. 
Keep my store unique. 
Keep my inventory different.

So that the tourists can have something new to look at besides the same thing after same thing.
