Brain Trust
Whenever I have the opportunity to sit and talk with Doug Smoyer; president of Retail Strategies, the thoughts and ideas that come up should be documented.
Too many times we meet, get excited about something, and then go off to our busy businesses leaving gold on the table.
Today, Masae and I are headed out to Kaneohe Bay with Doug and his wife, Joan (Owner of Noa Noa), on one of his yachts, and I am sure that we will return having had a good four hours of fun and fruitful discussions.
I am going to propose to Doug that on future get-togethers that I capture the essence of our discussions and post it right here for all to see today as well as in the future.
Stay tuned for photos from today as well as the outcome of this “proposal”.

Ron -
Just watched KHON news and discoverd WalGreens is shutting down Mak Bowling Lanes! The news reported that the leagues are all seniors - one lady 91 takes the bus twice a week to bowl. Does Doug Smoyer think those seniors will take the bus to WalGreens twice daily? Be the “resultant” that you are - suggest the first ever Wal-Greens Bowling lanes combo store - why can’t Walgreen rebuild and keep the bowling lanes - promote senior leagues and capture the hearts of local clientele? What a concept!

Great Idea provided you have the audience.
