LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION - LIFE LESSONS, PRESUPPOSITIONS, & TYPICALLY STEREOTYPICAL

in #life7 years ago

This guy knows his clients!


While travelling through Missouri, I happened upon this gem of a photo op. In Sunrise Beach, MO, there happens to be a Police Station right next to a Donut Shop.... coincidence?

LIFE LESSONS

In real estate, the first three rules are location, location, and location. In order to draw the most business, you need high visibility, and this guy certainly has it!


PRESUPPOSITIONS

My initial thought when I saw these two buildings next to one another was, "This guy sure knows what he's doing!" For a Donut Shop owner to position his shop next door to a police station is #genius!

What other way could you guarantee business on the daily?

But then, I had an interesting thought.... What if I had things backwards?


Which came first, the Police Station or the Donut Shop?


Could it be that there was donut shop before there ever was a police station? I have not researched this out yet, but the possibility exists. Would a city be wise enough to build the police station next to the donut shop? If so, does the mayor own the donut shop?


TYPICALLY STEREOTYPICAL

Either way, I think that it is safe to say, based on this photo, that stereotyping people isn't just for police anymore! (joke)

Whatever jokes or stereotypes may have previously been made about cops and donuts, I've never seen so much evidence for the story being true until I came upon these two buildings.

What are your thoughts?

(For the record, I prefer to spell doughnuts correctly, but used the shortened version in this post to match the sign.)

Lol !! All good reasons to eat donuts haha ! 👍heres a photo i took of my Timmies at playoff time , on my way to work last year !

That building looks too "official" to be a donut (or doughnut) shop. I suspect:

  1. It used to be a church, but the lobby coffee shop saw an opportunity and took over.
  2. It was the old police station and some ex-cops seized the opportunity (should I have used cops and seized in the same sentence in this context?).
  3. It's a front for drug dealers to keep cops occupied.
  4. It was once a grocery store (looks like a loading ramp?). They couldn't keep donuts in stock and everything else except coffee was sitting on the shop past its expiration date. They do sell beer in the back though.
  5. There are no coincidences.

Hmmm.... Now you sound like a Detective.... Want a doughnut?

Naw, I don't eat them. Got any dates?

Just one... with @mama-pepper. ... but you can't come.

The ramp is new. It is for the doughnut trucks. When they come the police officers get out of the station, line up, open their mouth and the the sideways tilting truck unloads it's freight.

That is an efficient way to unload!

The best location I have ever seen was the doctor in the middle of two undertakers.

But that is more then a decade back, now it's only an undertaker at the side (1 house between) of a drug store - which opened afaik when the doctor was still there, which is a normal typical location thing.

I wouldn't want to go to that doctor!

LOL.... Americans and their police and donuts joke.

Your police to not fuel their bodies with doughnuts?

No, I think it's an American thing.
Curious enough. So, did a search. Concluded it's been around a long time but as to when? cannot be sure.
