Several weeks ago I had to drop a friend off at the local airport here. I noticed they didn't have any luggage carts for the passengers. I put a bid in to the airport and the city board of directors to supply the airport with luggage carts. The vote was brought up in a meeting last night and they all voted unanimously YES to give my company the business. I will now be setting up a luggage cart rental area within the airport. Funny how you see something and then it pops in your head a way to start up a business. This will be my fourth business venture and I love being my own boss!
 
Making yet more money eh? You don't need that chest of gold

Some extra gold would come in handy right now!
 
Oh nice! Hope it works out well!
 
That's great news!

Will you have to be there to rent out the luggage carts?

No. I will be paying two of my friends to handle the rental booth. If I need to add extra people, I have plenty of friends that are in need of a job. I will be overseeing the business and handling any problems/issues that might arise.
 
Thank you everyone who has replied. I have just come up with a way to also use the carts for more than just rentals. I have contacted several local businesses and asked if they would like to advertise their business (for a fee) on my carts. There is a slot in the front of the cart that could be used for this purpose. So far, I have two taxi companies and four fast food places that deliver. My thought behind this was when planes are delayed people could either call a taxi to go get food or call a fast food place that delivers. There are no eateries located in the airport other than vending machines. None of the vending machines offer a hot meal or even a sandwich. Sometimes flights are delayed 3 hours and these poor passengers have nothing to eat other than junk food from the machines. Now they can either go get food or have food delivered.

Now that's a good way to go about doin' things! And I find this to be rather appropriate right now.

What a great idea, Jazzy! I am very impressed with your foresight and ambition. You are a brilliant and impressive woman and I am proud to know you.

Aww, thank you so very much Smooth! It's just weird how you can see something and then take it to a higher level. I truly didn't think I'd have a chance winning the bid and when I got the phone call, I nearly fell off my chair!

I thank you for your kind words and just wanted to say that I'm very lucky to know you as well.
