A simple, fresh breakfast menu could work if there's lots of traffic going by. Is any of it foot traffic?

Jim has a good idea if you are on their way to work passing you... on the same side of the road....
Down here you would be surprised at how successful a good scrambled eggs and veggies wrapped in soft taco stand can be... fresh baked or boiled doughnuts too...

Get a contract with the weirdos who have predicted that Armageddon is really happening on October 21. This time for real -- charge them 10x the price for short notice. Since they're all going to heaven, they can afford it now.

As a 'Christian' your job should be to take all the money you can away from 'non Christian drinkers' and apply it to good causes....
Local districts also benefit from the taxes on alcohol....
LOL

The building is so old and dusty I don't think a diner would work. I only have 5 parking spaces in front.

I just want to do something with the space. Maybe I'll rent the space to someone.

You don't have to have a diner, just a place that produces and sales the biscuits. Heck, have somebody running em out to the cars. Ham, chicken, sausage or bacon/egg. Keep it down to about 4 or five different varieties, make a bunch of em up every morning and close down and clean up when you sell out.

Always intersting to see restaurant or food service advice from folks that probably never ran one, or lost their shirt running one. Start up cost, license and permits, equipment and insurance, pest control . . . yes, it's a dream come true.

Seriously, how about contacting a commercial RE broker and see if they have any users.
