How did Indians corner the market on quick shops and many hotels?

I am genuinely curious as to why this is the case.

Last man to stand in their way was General Custer.
We learned our lesson.
Never forget.

Arabs also own a lot of quick shops in my area.

They are willing to put in the nasty work to keep them profitable. They are willing to put them in bad areas and really know how to squeeze as much profit out of them as possible.
Also, they pass them down to other members of their family every few years to get the "new small business" tax breaks.

Side note - I was staying at a motel in Louisville, Kentucky one time and there was a problem with the light in the bathroom. I called the front desk and the Indian manager comes up to take a look at it.
Almost precisely at that time I had stopped the TV on Comedy Central and Larry the Cable Guy was doing a routine where he was referring to people wearing turbans as having "diapers on their heads." It was a tad awkward.

Cash is king. They pay everything in cash. Report and pay little sales tax, no employment taxes, little inventory tax
move on when notice of pending audit

Anyone can make money with a corner store if they're willing to deal with trashy BS

That ethic doesn’t extend to keeping the stores clean apparently. Many of them are filthy.

They seem to enjoy low return investments.

NY Times Patel/Hotel history
very interesting story
"Pride in the conquest of a niche has for some evolved into a curious and not very enlightened machismo. Again and again these owners will boast that they got ahead by working harder than anyone else. A senior figure in the ''Indian motel brotherhood'' -- his words -- puts it this way: ''O.K. So your Koreans work hard. Your Chinese work hard. I'd even say that some other ethnic groups work hard, on a good day. But absolutely no one works as hard as we do. I don't want to make a racial thing out of this, but there isn't anyone who can match us for effort, dedication, stamina on the job"
