I had an antique store open in the space for a while and got tired of people telling me what their grandma use to have.

Plenty of small restaurants and businesses still exist once you take a detour either into the cities or off the 4-lane strip.

What you call defeatist, others might consider reasoned and based on experiences of the industry. Good restaurants don't exist because the owner's just "wished it" . . . it takes incredible amounts of hard work, long hours and sufficient capital to just break even. If it was easy, everyone would be doin' it, right?

Resturant business is alot of work. What I'm referring to I would not call a resturant. Only sell food to go and only provide it for the morning commute and don't open on Sat/Sun. There are places in the country side of south Ga that do this and seem to do pretty well but keep in mind that there is nothing else where these places are thriving.

IDK, there are plenty of such places in NYC and NJ where there are other options. Open on weekends, but often only till mid afternoon every day. Downside of this is that they need to be up and ready to go by 6 or 7 am.

Talk to a commercial real estate broker, they could probably suggest something.

OTOH want to serve as a drop off point for some gray containers with Russian and Chinese writing on them?
