Default Re: Wal Mart Used Cars?

Jason,

The $500 that they were charging was PER MONTH! Not bad in my book but the folks that owned the stand thought it was highway robbery.

Never could figure that out since the lady that owned the carts "claimed" in a conversation we had, that she was making an easy $300-$400 per day. (Clear).

I'll keep an eye out as the weather warms to see if she has a change of heart. In fact, if I could talk my wife into it, I'd try to scrape up the cash to buy my own cart, go ahead and retire, and do that. I KNOW I'd probably make more than I do working for Lowe's.

Pete, I would assume that you working at the local Lowes, you would have determined by now that several people that visit the Hotdog cart are regular customers.

Why not offer the operator of the cart a way to pre-sell 10-20 worth of product in advance, via pre-paid cards.


These could be careds that you sell them for a profit.

Jim wouldn't it be better for you if you could give the cart guy $10-$20 once a week, vs. giving him $3-$4 in cash every time you passed him.
I would also wager that the regular clients would, over a period of time, spend more money at the Lowes hotdog stand knowing that they have
a lunch that they have already paid for!
Think about it Pete.
I bet you could figure a way to make a few extra bucks right from the Lowes at which you work.

If you want help, I'm available.
Lets talk,
Jason
