After a slow first year, bookings are minimal, but the team says, “We can’t close now — we’ve spent too much already, and things are bound to improve.” They are considering adding costly spa services for pets to attract more clients., The Eco-Friendly Toothbrush Subscription, An entrepreneur launches a bamboo toothbrush subscription service.
