Dog Parker is a new start-up business with 5 locations in Brooklyn, New York.
Its basically a lock box that sits outside shops with a security card which unlocks the box and charges you for time. Theres a padded floor inside, and the box is (supposedly) temperature controlled.The charge is 20¢ a minute, plus a $25 annual fee. For the math-challenged, thats $6 for a half hour. Members can use a box for a maximum of 3 hours every 12 hour period. If the temperature gets below 32°F or above 85ºF, the Dog Parkers are (supposedly) closed until the weather improves.
The whole idea seems to me to be a disaster on stilts waiting to happen. Thoughts? Yes, I do know a similar scheme is being tried somewhere in Sweden, as I recall.
