They need a lot of mattresses to hide the money.

So you are supposed to by a mattress every 8 years?
You factor in that a lot of people sleep two to a bed so divide the population by about 12 and that’s your yearly mattress sales.
So dfw has 6 million folks so that’s 500000 a year.
Then I wonder who does bulk sales to hotels?
So if one of those small stores could get by selling 1000 a year that would be 500 stores but then you have to take away the sales by furniture stores. I dunno you need a lot of mattress stored

Very odd.
I've been one twice in my life. Both times, the store was entirely empty except for employees.

So what’s the consensus? They laundering money? What’s the front for?

Two stores in Alexandria less than 2 miles apart. No one in either store when you pass by. I agreed with the money laundering theory
Posted on 1/27/18 at 7:15 am to pioneerbasketball
There are two in Alexandria. TWO. As the OT knows, ellic is a shithole that has nothing. Something is not right.

The markup on mattresses is huge.

There are about as many people in those stores as there are in those GNC supplement vitamin stores that used to be in th mall.
Personally I also enjoyed the organ/piano stores in the malls that nobody shopped in too.

The reason there are so many mattress stores is because they sell a high cost, high profit margin item, and their operating costs are almost nothing (one employee, zero stock rotation, etc.). All they need to do is sell one mattress per day to cover the day's operating costs of the store and make a tidy profit.

Wouldn’t all of the accountants that work in there know if they were laundering money?
I don’t think it’s possible to launder the amount of money it would take to keep all those stores open without many employees being in on it.

I wouldn’t sleep on that money laundering idea!

The mattesses aren’t just for laundering money. They ship drugs inside the matresses. It’s a front for a massive CIA backed drug smuggling operation which they use to fund their off the books budget.
