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
