Hot Dog Stand Location Tips

When it comes to locating a hot dog stand there are some basics that you should be aware of. While it may sound obvious, it is surprising how many hot dog stand owners ignore the fundamentals.

The first rule of success is to position your stand within close to proximity to a hungry crowd. You have to be in a spot when it is busy and at a time when people are hungry. Whether you are outside an office building at lunch time or outside a bar at two o’clock in the morning there are always opportunities to sell hot dogs.

One other important tip in the food vending business is that sometimes it is OK to embrace competition. If you always run away from areas that other vendors are working then you’ll end up in a quiet spot with no potential. Accept the fact that in most of the best locations you will have competitors selling fast food nearby. It is ideal to minimize the number of competitors if possible but don’t fret about this to the extent that you end up being scared away from the profitable spots.
