There are two business trends that you might come to note if you lived around the city of Wiesbaden in 1985 and came back today in 2018: Shisha bars and nail salons.
Nail salons: There might have been a single salon in Wiesbaden twenty years ago, but today.....I would suggest it's near the 15-to-20 range. Part of this is a higher amount of disposable income, and part of this is a fashion trend.
You can see the same trend in Mainz, and Frankfurt. A guy goes out to find a decent storefront....puts about 25,000 Euro of investment into the place and opens up a six to twelve chair shop. I can't say that we've hit maximum potential yet, and there's still probably growth to occur in more rural areas.
Shisha bars: Back forty years ago, the shisha trend went along the conservative lines of a non-alcohol situation with the Hookah smoking devices. You could drink coffee, tea or fruit juices.
Today? Most all of the Shisha bars will offer beer, wine and the traditional non-alcohol drinks. They've modernized the types of smoking material. And they've gone to add food as part of the 'gimmick'. It's more of a place now for younger guys to socialize and discuss matters. Popular among Germans? It's main draw is upon Turks and Middle Eastern types, but it's a growing trend among German guys as well.
Within Wiesbaden? I'd estimate near fifteen of these, and about every quarter....another one opens up.
