The Magic of Get Go

Nature Girl and I went hunting for cheap gas today (she's not a big football fan) and hit upon a true miracle of marketing: Giant Eagle's "Get-Go" convenience stores and the possibility of huge growth for the Pittsburgh-based grocery store chain.

Besides getting cash off based on grocery purchases they also have car washes called "Wet Go"; what a concept! Just imagine the potential for expansion!

- add an Internet cafe called "Net Go";
- why not slots and wagering for "Bet Go";
- looking for loans? There's always "Debt Go";
- let's not forget a travel agency: "Jet Go";
- opera fans can get their tickets through "Met Go";
- dog grooming has a home with "Pet Go";
- once Fido's trimmed a doctor's visit is a quick stop at "Vet Go";
- check out the guitar shrink at "Fret Go".

Of course, if none of these ideas ever work out there's always: "Let Go", which may be the final word but I'm sure you have some I've missed...feel free to add.
