Why would a town with less than 15000 inhabitants need 3 laundromats, 3 hand carwashes and 2 mattress stores? The 4 nightshops are also shady.
The first two are businesses that basically run themselves, you only need someone to show up if something breaks, so it's perfect for someone sitting on a commercial lot.
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
Damn, mattress stores around here are all super fancy with two that make the mattresses they sell...
The laundromats and carwashes don't seem that strange. My home "city" of not even half a million people has 20 laundromats I could find on Google Maps and more carwashes than would seem reasonable. I don't know what's a reasonable number of furniture and mattress stores because one big place sucks up most of that business, but even with that, we've got at least a dozen different places to get mattresses.
