Brainstorming session

Ok..I'm just doing this as a brainstorming session for my assignment that I've been mulling over the past couple of days: taking an existing product or service and finding a new market for it.

*Dietician clinics inside grocery stores
*Shower manufacturer selling to dealerships for their mechanics
*Spas for men (they don't have these already, do they?)
*Homeowners Associations offering dog parks within neighborhoods
*Manicure/Pedicure businesses inside airports (not sure if they have these already either?)
*Nutrisystem products in grocery stores

I've been searching for needs of those who are parents, elderly (baby boomer generation is getting older and maybe there is a need not being met yet?) or college students. Are there any product or service needs missing in public schools?

OK, I had this great response to all of your points and the damned site timed out on me and didn't save my response! It was like 6 paragraphs long, too!

Re: Brainstorming session

Dog parks--yes, in lots of communities, condo associations, etc.

We used to have a babysitting service in our local grocery store but it was before I had kids. It's no longer there. I don't know that I would use it but that might be something.... Or in a mall? Maybe they already have those other places.

What about some service in a gym. Like dry cleaning. I'd use that. It would kill two birds so to say. Lots of professionals use gyms and also dry cleanings. I do. And I have to make two stops. I'm trying to think of the multiple errands I run and how I could combine them. Or a salon in a gym. I'd just like a one stop place for those times I do get out w/out kids. My gym doesn't have babysitting but if it did I could get a haircut, work out, pick up my dry cleaning, etc. KWIM?
