We need things for kids to do here. I am amazed that no one has gone after this. Maybe rents are just too high to sustain a business that goes after that market. My wife and I have looked but I can not make the numbers work. The rental rates are too high.... $20 per sq foot plus just does not work for any kid based business .
Somewhere, I have read that the "factory stores" in Sandestin are the USA's "largest outlet mall." I think Factory Stores and Outlet Mall are different. Outlet Malls, like you find on I-85 in Jefferson, GA (ENE of ATL), offer great prices. The Factory Stores at Sandestin rarely have a discount from what I have seen, except the NIKE store.
Who shops on vacation? Skunky, I want you to attempt to drive past the Factory Stores in Sandestin on a rainy day in June. When the rain comes, everyone goes to the Outlet Mall. Also, other than the beach in Destin, Destin Commons is the single most visited place in Destin. Kids love playing in the fountains. I think they seem to like it more than playing at the beach. Like it or not, these shopping places are packed throughout the summer. Here at the beach, for retailers, we have three months of Christmas - June, July & August. December is just a bonus. It is not surprising to see the factory stores here, empty for most of December.
a video arcade????
all of these businesses have made TONS of money in every kind of market.

businesses here have not caught on yet to the fact that while parents spend more on necessities, kids have the highest discretionary income.
that's the target market demo for al entertainment and tourism. except for some reason here on the emerald coast. weird.
can you make money? sure you can! and eases are easy to come by because most retailer are THRILLED to be near any of these chains that will keep the kids busy while mom shops.
:clap_1:
also, if we keep pretending kids and teens don't exist in this area and don't provide them stuff to do here, they'll find things to do, the kind of things that get kids and communities into trouble.
niceville's great, but it's hard to take a whole day off to cart the kid there and back. we need something more convenient for parents than a 45 minute commute to children's activities. i mean..it's not like this is a high end couple resort area. it's a family vacation area.
