According to the Vancouver Sun, “flops” are a big business, and not just at GM Place. Flip Flop Shops are set to open a dozen stores in BC in the next 5 years, and guess who wants in on it…
At least two well-known Vancouver business executives have invested in the Flip Flop Shops concept, including Vancouver Canucks president Chris Zimmerman [...].
“I like the simplicity of the concept,” Zimmerman said in an interview. “The product has a very universal appeal and I think there’s a real void in the market for people to go to one place and find the latest styles and brands.”
Such a major market void (*cough*) Zimmerman is likely investing somewhere in the $200,000+ range for at least one store. A store that sells nothing but plastic summer shoes.
