Opening up a stadium style concession stand in Baton Rouge

I told him this is a shitty idea because you need to sell more than just nachos, burgers, hotdogs, and sodas to be a successful restaurant

Accurate.

However, in theory, would any of you guys stop by a concession stand rather than a fast food restaurant if you were driving down the road?

No. Can't I already stop by a gas station for his food?

You might suggest to him to have someone throw piss balloons at his customers to give them an authentic Tiger Stadium experience.

Any daiquiris to go?

Add this shite to the restaurants set to close in 2019

Your colleague is a fool.

So like a snowball stand without snowballs but with burgers instead?

Make sure he sells snowballs too.

Probably but you just never know. Sometimes you will see a business that for a million reasons should be a total failure but they some how thrive. I know one thing, if I were going to quit my job to start a business it damn sure wouldn't be a restaurant. The success rates for start ups are terrible. Now if you know what you are doing food wise and know damn well you can put out a quality product a food truck would be the way to go. As long as you have the capital to sustain it until you can get established and develop customers.

This is true, about ten years ago some moron decided to open a crepe bar in downtown Athens. That's right.... a fricking Crepe Bar. They make crepes.

Furthermore, they opened it in a spot that is notorious for revolving door business failures.

Ten years later that mother fricker is still going, and it's always packed.

The millennials flocked to it.

Frat dudes, sorority girls, other, all drinking beer and eating crepes.

It still boggles my mind.

In the last ten years, of all the decent businesses that have opened and closed in downtown Athens, it is the fricking crepe bar that is still going strong.

fricking crepes.

But I'm a crepe,

I'm a weirdo.

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here.
