Idea: Food desert stores (alien.top)

Politics is creating a need for stores that are highly resistant to theft. Traditional food and drug can't seem to adapt. Do you guys think there is a niche that could allow an entrepreneur to go in with a high security store that disallows consumers from accessing items directly, and instead receive their order only after checkout? Maybe they walk around the store and pick up laminated images with barcodes on them. Then post checkout the order is fetched and handed to them or loaded into their vehicle.

The problem is, I would only operate in highly liberal areas, and if something about this made people feel bad, new legislation could begin to corrode my designs as well.

great idea! i can definitely see the need for high-security stores in areas where theft is a concern. creating a system where customers can only access items after checkout could be an effective way to minimize theft. however operating only in highly liberal areas might limit your potential customer base. it's important to consider the demand for this type of store in various communities. good luck with your entrepreneurial endeavor!
