Ideas needed for a shop in London for a retired albeit very energetic couple in their early 50's.

They are not necessary going to be actively working 9 to 5 at the shop but it will belong to them so no idea is outrageous really. There will be sale assistants etc.

Profit margin does not have to be massive as long as they don't make a loss really.

London street is already saturated with hair salons, African food shops & restaurants so not interested in that. Also not keen on cargo and money transfer.

Other Ideas that have been tabled and rejected include

1. Bakery dealing specifically in wedding cakes, "Agege" bread, meat pie (Nigeria type), gala etc - however this will limit the customers to just Nigerians or at best Africans

2. A fashion retail shop dealing in ready made ankara and laces. Also tie gele and wedding makeup

3. Daycare

4. Travel agency

5. Bed & breakfast

We are all out of ideas, Lets brainstorm together, If you have any other idea,please do share. Thanks

Look you are rejecting ideas that works, why don't put your money into Santander or HSBC then and watch it grow at snail pace,
Bed and breakfast is a brilliant idea out of the lot, or invest in a nice one bed flat and try short letting, its a win/win situation for you.
Once fed up put it back on the market, your money returns.
Pls only high brow area and make sure it's close to station.
Come back to thank me later.

Waffle House. If the shop is on a high street, they can start a waffle/ice cream/coffee house. Serve ice creams with waffles in the summer, and coffee with waffles in the summer. The smell of waffles literally pulls customers from the street. There's one in St. Albans where you'll need to queue to get a seat. http://www.wafflehouse.co.uk/st-albans/
