Bigger & Better? Should You Cater to the Obese?
By businessbroad | May 16, 2008
Lately, it seems like a lot of gift shops are adding products to accommodate larger customers - larger rings and necklaces, plus size clothing, extra wide leg boots, etc. It’s hard to say if that’s the right decision for any given individual or store, but it’s certainly something to consider, given the percentage of the population that’s overweight or obese. It’s actually more than half!
What do you think? Have you made any accommodations? Do you plan to carry plus size products in the future?
