Mall of America's latest store is a snooze
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) — The Mall of America has a 74-foot Ferris wheel, a shark tank and a dinosaur museum. But if you're just too exhausted to enjoy it all, a new nap store will sell you some shuteye for 70 cents a minute.
The store, to be called MinneNAPolis, is aimed at weary travelers who need a nap after a long flight but aren't staying long enough to book a hotel room, or spouses of shoppers who are traversing the mall's 4.3 miles of retail stores and other attractions, according to the Star Tribune.
"We think it would be really good for husbands at Christmas, when their wives are power-shopping," said mall spokeswoman Julie Hansen.
Founded by PowerNap Sleep Centers Inc. of Boca Raton, Fla., the new store will include themed rooms such as Asian Mist, Tropical Isle and Deep Space, and the walls will be thick enough to drown out the sounds of squealing children at the indoor amusement park.
