An Oprah Store in every shopping center and strip mall from New Jersey to New Mexico.
Wal-Mart and Target better watch out. For now, Oprah Winfrey has just one store, which recently opened by her Harpo Studios on Chicago's West Side.
The store will sell everything from $13 cosmetic bags decorated with pastel O's to "a pair of Gianfranco Ferré brown crocodile ankle boots worth $300, taken directly from Oprah's closet, according to Black Enterprise magazine.
Oh ... and surprise, surprise ... much of the profits go to help those in need and charities, including Oprah's Angel Network. Alright, now I feel like a complete failure in life.
The Harpo Inc. boss pulled in $325 million in sales last year, according to Black Enterprise.
But one "O" store in the Windy City can not contain this media mogul's potential. Steven Keith Platt, director of the Platt Retail Institute, calls Oprah "an American icon."
And as he told Black Enterprise, if Martha Stewart can make it big at Kmart, there is no denying that our girl Oprah can.
You heard it here first. The first chance she gets, Oprah will build an Oprah store on the moon. That's right, Oprah Sky Mall as in-flight reading.
Love her. Hate her. Oprah is more than a powerful, rich and successful black woman. She is a brand and more. But what really worries me? she's running out of business ventures. School? Did that. Radio network? Check. Magazine? Yup. Oprahvision? Done it.
Really, give us your ideas below about what she can possibly do next.
