Or if not a hot dogger, you could run a cart with fresh salads and fruits. Or soup and salad would be nice too. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 802124 A big, deep bucket of hot chili on a cold day? That wonderful smell drifting down the sidewalk.. Oh yeah.

My neighbor said once he wanted to open a nude carwash. Get some good looking hookers off the street, give 'em a job where they don't have to touch the customer. All they touch is the car. Handwashed, nude. Driver gets to stay in the car and watch, but can't touch. He said his wife thought it was a bad idea.

Sounds like a good deal. Nice hot chili, clam chowder, chicken noodle soup, etc... Maybe some nice warm bisquets on the side. Vary the soup of the day.

Get up early, make fresh pots, put them in your cart. Drive to good location. Work until lunch is over, maybe 2 pm.

Done with your work day! Not bad:)

Can do shopping and food prepping on the weekend.

As someone else have noted a food stand can be a good business. I know some who have a 6 figure income with owning two small foot stands (selling egg rolls). It's hard work though and sometimes you get all the $h1t from thugs.

Why not move to one of the states that has legalised weed and grow using hydroponics,lovely past time if you ask me (although I don't know much about it....honestly officer)....might need a license to grow it legally though.
(In the UK you have to get permission from the home office I believe and then it is only if it is grown for medical research,I don't mind being corrected if I am wrong btw)
You could expand into selling seeds and related goods...bongs,lights,filters,feed ...the list is endless.

Go for it dude...a massive market.

Need low investment, low overhead, and quick start in January/February... Thanks for any ideas!

Quoting: Mr. GreenJeans 812938

Open a consignment store. Survey the neighbourhood first (and see what else is out there) and decide whether to concentrate on either women's clothes, furniture or childrens'.

Consignment is usually done 50-50 or 60-40 (60% for the store - don't EVER pay out more than 50%). That way you don't have to invest cash upfront in inventory - you pay the consignor only when you sell an item of theirs. The main drawback is you need a good inventory tracking system.
A lot of people want to sell their clothes during a recession & lots of others want to buy clothes cheap. Works better if you're not near a lot of outlet malls. Sometimes a consignment store's best customers are people who consign too.

There's a good forum on the subject called 'Too good to be threw' - just google it - lots of info.

Those are good ideas too. Problem with consignment is however that most of the times you need a shop. Rent, buying furniture and decorating the shop can be very expensive. However, if you can get consignments it can be profitable.

HAHAHA!

Serious though, I remember a documentary about window washers. The made at least 100,000 a year and all they had was a ladder and some cleaning stuff. However, some of the neighbourhoods are monopolized and cartelized by gangs of window washers- kind of semi-mafia. These gangs do not permit outside entrepreneurs (window washers) that can overtake their neighbourhood with lower prices.

What do you think of cotton candy, hotdogs, or popcorn vendors? Ya'd need a carnival, baseball game, or movie theater to go with them. Quoting: mystylplx I know a couple of guys who have a vending truck and park right outside of a couple of plants (filled with Mexicans). They don't want to eat at the cafeteria so take a walk to buy a few tomales. They make a good living.
