Just wondering. I would think jewelry and grocery store may be some?

Doesn’t the bar portion of a restaurant and bar make it financially?

Farming has a pretty slim profit margin. It's a huge gamble with the cost of equipment and being at the mercy of the weather.

Grocery stores have very low margins.
A well run bar with video poker machines used to do very well. Not sure about now.
Self storage facilities were huge cash cows a while back.

Visa and big credit cards have net income margins of like 50%
Nvidia and other Mag7s close to that as well.
Big tobacco names like Altria have incredible margins too.

They usually don’t hold your debt. They’re making money off of processing fees.

Don't those roofing companies have a huge margin? I don't know much about this industry but have been told by several people that their margins would make me sick as I recently paid for a new roof $17,000 and wasn't an insurance claim, all out of pocket.
