    It depends on the area of course, you’ll find some real fancy ones here and there, specially in larger cities. But most towns have “cheap” mattress stores on the outskirts of town on commercial lots with other cheap construction/old buildings. And they’re often lumped in with the “I’m sure they’re money laundering” questions on social media. Since they look closed a lot of the time and don’t have much traffic.

    Mattress stores are also pretty low cost to operate once they’re set up.

    • Low sale numbers, so no constant restocking

    • The inventory doesn’t really goes bad unless something goes wrong with the storage

    • You don’t need many employees

    • You can have late(and short) opening times, because who buys a mattress on a weekday morning or late at night?.

    • You dont need a fancy showroom, just enough space to show off the different models.

    • Many of them are basically just big sheds on the outskirt of town. In fact, I’ve often seen one of those manual carwashes in the same lot off the side off the road as a mattress store.

    • And the profit margin is usually pretty high





  • They do what the average conservative everywhere does: Convince themselves that most people secretly agree with what they are doing. They truly and honestly believe over two thirds of the country want them to do that.

    That’s why they keep talking about conspiracies involving someone controlling elections, the government etc. because reality doesn’t match up with their views. And they don’t think they can be wrong, so they conclude that it has to be some shadow organization that is going against the people.

    It’s also why they keep talking about themselves as if they are revolutionary fighters going against a great evil.
