Abundant Mattress: Deep thoughts for the week or the name of my new band.

Let's start the week off with some consumer deep thoughts:
Ready?
There are approximately 4 mattress stores in the Shreveport area. Shreveport population is around 200,000.

Do you think at least 1 mattress is sold every day?
When was the last time you bought a mattress?
For me it's been 6 or 7 years and the mattress is still great. 
I see the lonely cars on the ridiculously congested car lots and felt for them, until I realized all the mattresses that will never leave the mattress store. 
Maybe 4 mattress stores in such a small population is overkill. Are those 4 businesses surviving? Is there a profit? Do they actually have customers on a daily basis?


All questions to think about the next time you drive past that mattress store.
