BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- A store at the Mall of America that sold naps has gone to sleep.

MinneNapolis sold naps for 70 cents a minute.

But the nap center, which charged $14 for 20 minutes in a private, themed room, brought in fewer than 1,600 customers during its six-month run at the huge mall in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Owner Steev RamsDell blamed the failure on the high percentage of tourists who shop at the Mall of America. He said the store couldn't develop repeat business.

"We had people who said they loved our service and they'd be back next time they were at the mall -- next year. We couldn't develop the repeat business," RamsDell told the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

RamsDell said he still hopes to make money from tired Minnesotans. He said he's signed a lease in the trendy Uptown neighborhood in Minneapolis, and plans to open a smaller version of MinneNapolis there on June 1.
