cotsi95 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hookah is getting bigger espically in college towns. The reason it is getting bigger is mostly due to it invading some popular culture. I have seen it on amazing race, real world and true life and a few other shows.Most hookah bars are up in sales, the time of year dictates sales quite a bit. We are up in sales from last year.I have no idea about smoke shops since I am not involved in one and I do not shop at one.Yes more people are smoking hookah at home, From what I see when people come to the hookah bar if they enjoy it then 70% of the time they will buy a hookah to smoke at home with friends.

This recession was different (worse) as people just don't have that disposable income.You should search the thread for: sonthert +state +hookah +industry as he has some older longgggg posts on the industry as a whole.Hookah bars are Everywhere in some major cities, and nicely its all basically local small bus. owners. Because of the subjectivity of packing, and really probably the lack of being able to somehow "process" and "standardize" (well process you could) hookah packing and coal management, we may not see a conglomerate ala Starbucks in relation to its industry pop up.Though I think that business would kick ass. Though that business would probably be based on shitbacco like Starbuzz.:/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mix_tape Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 The few lounges we have around here are quite popular each one is a little different but the hype is dying out a little due to our smoking ban and the lounges only being able to use herbal. One lounge custom produces their own mixes but I find more and more people are curious about it which is neat.Smoking ban sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
