1. Don’t Come HERE! (A rude restaurant)
Based on Dicks Last Resort in the US, the catch is you offer horrible service, after a while people will talk. Best part? Staffing, who wouldn’t want to work at a place where you can say what you want to people? We could offer jobs to people who need the psychological benefit of poking fun at people regularly.
You change the menu regularly based on what’s in stock from local producers or really just serve what you want, if people complain you don’t have to care! You could make people sign a disclaimer about how terrible of a time they are about to have. Based slightly on the story of Lemony Snickets Series of Unfortunate Events and the narrator that constantly reminds the viewer about how depressing of a story you’re witnessing. It’s hilarious, it’s different, and when you play hard to get with people you usually end up with a lot of people coming back for more!
2. The Heart Attack Bakery
The only this you’ll find here is food that’s NO good for you. And that’s why you’ll love it. Don’t look for nutritional information, you aren’t going to find it. Just the perfect combination of the most delicious, sugary, salty, fatty foods we could find and mashed them together for one unforgettable culinary moment.
3. Farm to Crust Pizzeria
Pretty self explanatory yet no one locally has done it. In Hawaii there was an all natural Pizzeria and it was delicious, I want to start that here in Regina. There are plenty of ingredients at the farmers market to do this one!
4. The Regina Party Tour
Stags, stagettes, corporate parties, weddings, any time you have a bunch of people together you’re going to want to go on a party tour. Sometimes out to Lumsden, sometimes Balgonie, this party tour is themed so you better come dressed up! Parties can be booked a year in advance, themes, costumes and role playing available.
5. Apple Pies & Tour Guides
A guided (and hilarious) tour of Regina’s hidden and haunted side. Eat some delicious apple pie and let us show you how amazing (and haunted) this city really is. It’s a guided tour through some of the best Pie makers this side of the North Saskatchewan River!
6. A Murder Mystery Hotel Series
Partnering with the hotels association, we develop a schedule for planning murder mystery parties at hotels during their slow season. Bring people in, entertain them, they’ll be back for more or at least you get to scare the shit out of them! We’re always looking for something new to do and the grow popularity of Escape Rooms means there are lots of people who want a different option when going out for the night.
8. (Once Marijuana is legal) How To Party Like Bob Marley!
Like Tupperware parties of the 90’s! Learn the latest and most efficient methods of smoking, vaping, and eating Marijuana from trained professionals! Want to make that summer bbq bash one to remember? Make it hippy themed and get everyone high as shit!
In all seriousness, once Marijuana becomes legal in Canada there will be many business opportunities that will be grow along with the demand for the Devil’s Lettuce. Many different side businesses will soon be possible, learning and teaching the proper techniques and health benefits of this new industry could represent a big market.
9. The Happy Energy Club
Delivered every morning to your home or work, it’s different each day, nutritional blend of locally sourced fruits and vegetables. Cancel any time, be sure to check out our “gift a friend happy energy” program! We pay YOU to tell people about Happy Energy, a novel referral system internally will be the reason Happy Energy grows!
10. The “Your face looks great today” App!
Download it for free and sign yourself up for a compliment a day! That’s right, no strings attached, just the most Canadian website ever (we’re actually in talks of building this as a StratLab app!).
Once per day you get a compliment sent to your phone, you can choose to save it, cherish it, or send it to a friend publicly or privately online. Who doesn’t want a compliment a day! Once we get to a million people we’ll sell basic advertising on the email compliment and create a reoccurring revenue source.
Start your day off right, start with the Your ears look great today App!
11. How do you sell a Rainforest?
Workshops, classes, and consulting where you learn how to sell anything on Amazon. Tired of the internet eating up your profits? Stop complaining and start learning! Any one can sell on Amazon, take this workshop and by the end you’ll be selling your wares in the biggest store in the internet.
Setup store, start marketing, start selling. It’s as easy as 1, 2, Amazon!
Coming up with an idea to start a business is easy. Bringing your business idea to life, lasting through the dip, and staying around long enough to create something special is much more difficult. But hey, the sooner you launch the sooner you’ll find out either way.
