With the onslaught of reality TV programs--I think someone should start one called "Barber Shop Wars".
A part from being (good at) opening store-front churches...'our people' are also good at opening Barber Shops.
I tried counting the number of Barber shops in our city. I stopped at 16 shops within < a 3 mile radius. It is not unusual to see 2 Barber Shops and a Beauty Salon (that also gives hair cut) in one plaza.
The closure and turn-over rate for this type business is extremely high. (Maybe as high as the closure rate of Jamaican restaurants)
I do very good business making flyers and business cards for these establishments. So I hear about the 'wars' between. I also hear about the squabbles when i visit my barber for my trim.
It's just plain hilarious--and would make good entertainment for those who like this type of stuff.
It's either "we" make money off ourselves...or "others" certainly will.
