Drive ins on the comeback

Greetings everyone!  I'm Jayna Sheffield at the business desk and this morning I'd like to start the week by telling you about the resurrection of drive ins across America.
There was a time in the 50s and 60s when drive ins were quite popular.  It seemed as if in those days most families used to use drive ins as a means of recreation.  Many parents used to make it a weekly habit of taking their kids to the drive in and there they would spend a few happy hours watching movies on the large screens, chatting, and picnicking on snacks either brought from home or purchased at the drive in itself.  Both parents and kids seemed to enjoy this type of outing as it gave them an opportunity to spend quality time together but more importantly everyone got a chance to spend some time outdoors in the fresh healthy air.
In the 70s and 80s and late into the 90s the indoor movie complexes took over and drove the popularity of drive ins right out of the ball park but with this came less time spent together as a family, more time spent in stuffy indoor cinemas, and not enough time spent outdoors in the fresh healthy air.  However, drive ins are starting to make a comeback in a very big way and they are doing this by offering some very new and interesting attractions.
In addition to offering customers the convenience of watching double and triple features from the convenience of their vehicles, they are also providing such attractions as:  Mini golfing for kids and parents, amusement rides for kids, loads of healthy snacks     and foods for all, lots of other fun activities, and they are not going to stop there.  Movie complexes are already under heavy attack from video and DVD rental stores and added to this is that it is becoming more and more cost effective to buy movies instead of going to the movies.  So, it's a trend to watch for and if you're looking for a niche opportunity you may want to do your investigation and research and see how you can build a profitable little business around this growing trend.  You don't have to look too far it's there just waiting for you to grab it and if you need some help then you can start by picking up a copy of a very affordable book called "Untapped Wealth Discovered" by visiting www.untappedwealth.com/order.htm.
Enjoy your day.
