Here are a couple of my bad ideas. We have to learn somehow, so I will start!
1. My original location-the car wash. Not that busy, and the ONLY people you can get is the car wash customers. No one else will come in because they feel they have to get a car wash. They might not even have a car!
2. Soccer games for kids. The looks alone from the parents is enough to make you want to quit. they act like a good beef hot dog is THE DEVIL!!
I know there is one restaurant that is reviewed at this site which is located inside a car wash. The food looked pretty good.
I have memories of these gas station/meat market/delicatessens in New Orleans. You could get all you need for dinner right there. It was the oddest combination of ideas that I have ever seen. They were busy. Cheapest gas in town…
As for the soccer parents, they may have a point. The idea for many of them is to get Junior off his sedentary fanny and exercise.
It seems odd they forget that when they grew up, there was always a snack booth at the Little League games. Are you competing against the snack bar? Do the profits from the snack bar go back to the team?
Seems odd that there would be this attitude towards your truck. Hot dogs at sporting events is a patriotic requirement in this great nation…
