Speaker 1: I Kia. Ikia is the world's most successful furniture outlet
Speaker 1: and they want to stay that way. Now. Ikia wants
Speaker 1: to add new store locations to respond to changes in
Speaker 1: the way people live in shop. Right now, most Ikias
Speaker 1: are in suburban areas outside major cities. But the company
Speaker 1: says it over the next twenty years, fewer people are
Speaker 1: going to be driving, or we'll even have cars. Obviously
Speaker 1: they're talking about millennials, and I'll bet you that's not true.
Speaker 1: But that's a whole different day. So I Kia is
Speaker 1: hunting for prime downtown locations in big cities worldwide. You're
Speaker 1: looking in Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Mumbai.
Speaker 1: Always loves saying Mumbai. And they're also looking in New
Speaker 1: York City. Not to elected officials in almost all of
Speaker 1: these cities, this is great news. Big company wants to
Speaker 1: invest in their downtown areas. Means tax dollars, ancillary businesses,
Speaker 1: and more economic activity. But you i KA executives that
Speaker 1: better beware. If you really want to open a New
Speaker 1: York store, you better come up with a plan to
Speaker 1: deal with New York liberals. They hate big business. They
Speaker 1: might like your furniture, but they don't want to pay
Speaker 1: for it, and they will run big business out of town.
Speaker 1: Whatever they can. Ask Amazon about that, Bezos, he'll tell
Speaker 1: you I can't wait to see this
