How’s this for a plot: An entrepreneur creates an ecommerce site inspired by his favorite holiday movie and then turns the house featured in the film into a tourist attraction with a museum and gift shop directly across the street.
That’s the true life story of Brian Jones, an entrepreneur whose love for the classic 1980s film “A Christmas Story” led to a career selling kitschy leg lamps just like one famously featured in the film.
He also purchased and restored the house where exterior scenes from the film were shot and then set up a museum and gift shop directly across the street, to house movie memorabilia and sell movie-themed items.
Business has been good, too.
