|
||
|
||
## Location Strategy
|
||
|
||
**Target spots (NW Indiana + Southern Michigan):**
|
||
- Walmart / Meijer parking lots
|
||
- Near Chick-fil-A, McDonald's (capture their traffic, no coffee competition)
|
||
- Gas station lots on US-31, US-20, I-94 corridor
|
||
- Notre Dame campus perimeter (game days = 80,000+ people)
|
||
- Hospital/medical center parking areas (staff need coffee at 5am)
|
||
- Industrial parks (factory shift changes)
|
||
- Church parking lots (Mon-Sat)
|
||
|
||
**How to secure spots:**
|
||
- Approach property managers (not tenants) with a lease proposal: $500-1,000/mo
|
||
- Walmart has a formal vendor/lease program in some locations
|
||
- Start with 1 great spot, prove the concept, use that track record to pitch the next
|
||
|
||
## Why Coffee Trailers Win in Winter
|
||
|
||
- Hot drinks = HIGHER demand in cold weather
|
||
- Drive-through window = customers stay in their car
|
||
- Commercial lots (Walmart, etc.) are plowed/salted first
|
||
- No food spoilage, no grease, no complex health dept issues
|
||
- Only true shutdown: blizzard days where nobody leaves home (5-10 days/yr max)
|
||
- Compare to food trucks: dead 4-6 weeks in Midwest winter
