I don't live in the villages, however I am willing to share (one of my) million dollar ideas (LOL):

Renovate a soft Ice Cream truck and drive it around.

Here is how this works... People in the villages probably fondly remember the Good Humor man or a similar ice cream truck that would parade around on hot afternoons and evenings, playing circus like music and selling to the kids in each neighborhood.

Modernizing and making this more “age appropriate” – The truck plays classic (50’s – 60’ s and 70’s) rock music or similar to draw out residents. Instead of serving ice cream, they are serving slushy margaritas, pina coladas, daiquiris, rum and coke, Mai Tai, Martinis, Lemon twists and such! Complete with the fruit slice and umbrella in the top! (They could also have beer and wine for those who don’t prefer such a sweet drink).

Wouldn’t that be great to have your very own bartender that came to your home?! Like that song said once said . .. “You can take a trip and never leave the farm”!

Promotions! Frequent Buyer “Punch” Cards! (Pun intended) so that after buying 10, you get one free!

Make the “rounds” at about the same time each day in the same areas to build a regular clientele... humm, will probably need more than one truck after business gets going.

Anyway, the title of this thread made me remember this idea that I had from a couple years back….
