6 Businesses Lubbock People Secretly Wish Would Open Here

We get pretty excited when a new restaurant opens up in Lubbock, but I think there are a couple of businesses that would totally dominate our city if someone out there were brave enough to build them.

Maybe that person is you.

Here's a list of suggestions, just in case a big-time philanthropist opens this silly little article. Be the hero we need!

1. A Massive Indoor Lazy River

I'm not about a water park. Nope. Just a huge, indoor, lazy river.

No slide. No stupid wave pools. No kids screaming and launching their little bodies onto your head.

Giant tubes and enough room for us to float in circles for three hours, even though we have way better things to take care of.

2. The Grandma Restaurant

A place run completely by grandmas that serves only grandma-made foods!

Dude. This would go SO HARD.

Nobody would ever leave hungry, and the restaurant would run smoothly because it's very hard to argue with Grandma. I wouldn't dare try it.

3. An Adult Recess Center

A huge building with dodgeball courts, slides, obstacle courses, trampolines, and fancy snacks, that doesn't allow CHILDREN.

Heavenly.

4. An Errand Concierge Service

Would you pay a monthly fee to have your most mundane errands run for you?

I know I would.

Things like mailing packages, sitting on hold with customer service, or even making returns to Walmart when you buy the wrong size pants or whatever. Think about it.

5. The Public Pool Lubbock Actually Deserves

Alright, this one isn't much of a secret.

I've mentioned this before, but I'm not going to stop until it happens.

Affordable. Clean. Family-friendly. No gimmicks. No insane luxury resort nonsense.

Just a big pool for everyone to enjoy. It can't be that hard.

6. The Nap Club

Private rooms with comfy chairs, soft lighting, and cozy blankets.

A place reserved for naps.

Tell me that wouldn't stay busy as hell.

Look, guys. We aren't asking for much. Just a lazy river, a grandma cafe, a nap center, a big public pool, and someone to run all of our icky errands.

Compared to other places, I think this is all pretty reasonable.
