Today I was in a part of town I never have before.
I saw a store JUST for badminton.

I came across a very narrow, 5 story store in Japan, a bit off the beaten path in Akihabara, selling exclusively N scale model trains. They had a floor or two dedicated just to the models, another one for scenery, and at least one just for repair parts for your trains. It was really cool to get to see a store that was pretty clearly a passion project for the owner(s) apparently doing well, and filling quite the niche in the hobby (I imagine)

I’ve been in a Christmas store that all year long only sold Christmas stuff.
26 daysTrue story. My niece went into a Christmas shop in our home town looking for a nativity set.
Assistant: “A what?”
“A nativity set - you know, Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus…”
Assistant: “What’s Jesus got to do with Christmas?”

An entire store full of african-american romance novels. In a VERY white area. It did not stay open long 😞

The existence of that store feels more like a statement than a business decision
Rubber stamp store. Just shelf after shelf of rubber stamps and rubber stamp accessories.

I think my favorite is Nothing Bundt Cakes that sells Bundt cakes. It’s a chain, and yes I only like it because of the pun.

Screws. A whole shop especially for screws and nuts, and you could buy bigger boxes, or smaller boxes, or only one or two, and they took their time to give advice, always with the same friendliness and helpfulness, whether you left a few cents or some real money.

We have a ‘Mr Gwint’ shop in my city (‘gwint’ means ‘thread’ in Polish, and the word is probably familiar to The Witcher players). They mainly sell various fastenings, but also tools and other related stuff. They have a big note on the door ‘Only wholesale, no retail. Only full packaging.’ But whenever I went there and asked for some screws, they would sell me much less than the full package. Friendly (to the Polish standards, that is) and helpful, unlike the sign on the door. But I wouldn’t dare asking for just one or two basic screws.
I wouldn’t go in there often, but I’d be grateful for it when I did.
