Hmmm... An ingenious product/general business idea? Oi... Tough one there, I must say. My current idea is somewhat of a chain of businesses, but not as you might think. It would be sort of a... club, you might say, for kids maybe about 8-18. I'll come up with a name later.

It would be somewhat of a youth group, in the sense that there would be many events together. There would be locations of it all across America, in various locations around thriving towns. Inside the buildings there would be some meeting rooms, but mostly things that kids would like. A gym and other rooms for various sports, a few game rooms, a "relaxation" center, etc. etc. etc. A versatile kids hangout. Then, about every week or two, the center would assemble its groups (There are groups divided up by age.) and have a meeting. In that meeting, the kids and adults running the place would discuss a few topics. There would be educational aspects and general aspects for the place itself. Such topics might include...
- Violence
- Racism
- Crime
- Homeless people
- Ways to help the needy
- Interesting field trips for the "club"
- How to improve the "club"
And other things. It could start out small, but if it were to gain enough support, it could become a nationwide thing. Obviously, there would need to be a membership fee, but I think it's mutual - fun, socialization, and some education for the kids, and money for the organization to spend to improve upon those things for the kids. Not to mention that it could quite likely make the parent happy.
This is a very vague idea, but I think you could bring it to new heights.
Good luck, Starry!
