Joint Ventures

I am so amazed by all the convenient joint ventures that have appeared in the last few years. We sure live in a land of convenience.

*Starbucks in Target
*Starbucks in Barnes & Noble
*Subway in Walmart
*Pizza Hut in Target
*McDonalds/Burger King/Wendy's/etc. in Gas Stations
*Banks in Grocery Stores

I've been thinking...

Wouldn't it be great if there were:
*10 Minute Oil Changes at Movie Theaters
*Barber Shops in Book Stores
*Video Stores in Gyms/Health Clubs
*Donut Shops at Libraries

...what would go well with Weight Watchers?

*Nail Salons
*Victoria Secret
*Tanning Parlors
*Gyms/Health Clubs
*Vitamins/Health Nut Shoppes

Seems they are always telling members to reward themselves with these non-food rewards. Not sure why a guy would need a new bra and panty set, but oh well!

Personally, I rather run the Krispy Kremes, Starbucks and McDonald's that are right across the street from my WW center ;)

Weight Watchers will be holding open houses at all of their centers every Saturday during February. They've invited several "vendors" to come to the open houses as well. I'll be interested to see who shows up at these as I'll be working 3 of the Saturdays, all at different centers.

yea, just what I don't need, fast food in stores that I shop in. Glad I can control myself from eating at these joints.

I wish our Wal-marts here had Subway! All our Wal-marts have McDonald's in them. Not good when trying to get shopping done and the kids are all getting hungry. We ended up with McDonald's for lunch today for that exact reason. Good thing I need to log in a few good miles today for the challenge I joined.
