Niche Mobile: Showers

What happens when the closest shower is 60 miles away? Start a business that would allow you to bring the showers to the people who want them.

Reason.com:

Evan Jensen, 18, and his brother Justin were looking for work in the oil fields of western North Dakota after high school graduation.

The boom of temporary workers had attracted food carts and other mobile businesses, but the closest shower was a truck stop 60 miles away. The boys were sleeping in a pickup truck and getting pretty rank, by their own account. They didn’t find employment in the oil fields, but Evan Jensen headed home with a big idea: mobile showers for filthy oil workers.
