PS all you need to do is look at some of the ads that'll pop up here on this website blog to get a good idea of what's really selling and needed

Does anyone have any ideas I can pass by him that would be good here? Something besides the obvious Golf Carts, Golf Clubs. There must be something out there that is missing here that even Amazon can't fill. Think outside the box. Thanks

Reliable and reasonable house watch with or without vacation mowing. He will be amazingly busy after a little advertising. It is hard to find mowing without a yearly contract.

Home made egg rolls. Different varieties. All the Chinese restaurants here seem to get theirs from same place.

Pool/Spa maintenance company that is reliable & dependable. I hear regular complaints about the lack of service, no shows, etc. With T&D selling their maintenance biz, the market is now wide open.

Someone to fix “MISDIRECTED REQUEST “ error that keeps coming up.

Lawn service. The current rates are way too high for the time. These guys are making over $100/hour for cutting grass.

He should open a Costco store.

Tell him to look into a Ledo's Pizza franchise. He will knock the other Pizza places dead. I promise. Have them check it out.

It seems hard to find a good old fashioned Gardner...one to weed, trim and maintain plants/bushes would be a great job. The other thing that I think would be helpful would be a "handyman" to come and do the things that are not major, but that we old folks either shouldn't do (for safety reasons) or don't want to do any more. This could included transportation to the airports as well. If he likes to cook, there is a "Chefs for Seniors" here and the chef needs help. Best of luck and Welcome!
