Ok....SDC management comes to you and says "We are wanting to open a new store in the park and we've selected you to develop it! It has to stay within our overall theme, but it's your baby."

What would you open??

Me, I'd have an old west store filled with the history of the gunfighters and their legacies. Earp, James, Masterson, Holliday, Cody, Hickok, Billy the Kid, etc. The O.K. Corral, Northfield Bank robbery, Dodge City, etc.

I know a Nostalgia store is coming....I am just waiting to see which one of you opens it!

You Called that right!  I would love to open that kind of store.  Actually, a lot of parks with history behind them have a memorabilia store that also includes a museum (stuff you couldn't buy).  I think the signs around the park that tell about the Park history illustrate the need for this.

I'd reintroduce a bookstore. I'd specialize in books about the Ozarks.

I will help betamike! After all his home is a :LOOONG way from "store"
  LOL ..

Nostalia/History of SDC.  Museum and goodies for sale.  reproductions of buildings and the rides..  yes!!!

Beta and I could go in on the museum!

That or a store of my artwork/ paintings.

Bliss!  I could sell a ton of your artwork!

I would open a store near FITH that sold FITH merchandise and other replica antique firefighter "stuff".  My firemen family members would drop the bank in that store plus it would be a great way to further honor the men and women who put their lives on the line fighting fire, rescuing people, and saving lives in general.

I would have to go with a store that only had american made items in it.

Excellent idea! That sounds like a store that I would be interested in.

Speaking of that, I would like to see a store that sells only Silver Dollar City handmade items.

Okay, I am totally going to cheat, and suggest a Silver Dollar City online store.

Yes, the dreaded online store. However, I never make it to Silver Dollar City as much as I would like, and it would be nice to have a place to order a shirt, or other merchandise with the axe, and log logo on it before each trip. It would also serve as a great springboard for the local handcrafters to sell even more of their products.

i keep sayin' it, & i'll say it again -- Indian stuff.. Native Americans were part of the ol' West rather it was fighting, trading, or stealing their land. Heck, we have to fight off the Baldknobbers & train robbers everyday at the park!

Just sayin..

[sanddunerider]

online store is a good idea,  IF they stuck to "quality" merchandise.. But i know they would flood it with crap like they sell at HH and Marketplace.

I always thought this was one of the best ideas SDC could come up with.  It's a win - win situation for SDC and it's customers.  What would be the increase in merchandise sales a year...say at least 25%?

25% would be just from those of us on this site 

[pintrader]

I think your absolutely right okiebluegrass!  I think 25% would be a very modest estimate.
