Each item took less than 5 minutes between setting up the garment, the file for the name/initials, and then heat sealed patches if that's what they wanted. We were set up for about 3 hours at each event.

French Fry Stand

I worked concessions at various Midwest fairs as a summer job for about 10 years. The company I worked for had been doing it for 60 years and had about 40 French fry and lemonade stands.

The margins were insane. Pay kids minimum wage all summer. There were multiple times each summer where my entire cash draw was being lifted up with $20s, $50s, and $100s that were kept under the draw.

$4-$7 for 50lbs of potatoes that turned in to $700-$1200. We would go through 10-30 bags of potatoes per day per stand.

Hardest part about that industry is all the good spots at fairs are taken by the people that have been doing it for decades. Once you have a spot, the fairs let you keep it until you get kicked out for doing something dumb or retire.

Kitchen Equipment Sales/Re-sales

A friend's parents owned a restaurant equipment supply company. They would sell new stuff to a new restaurant. Restaurant would go bust, they buy it back pennies on the dollar, resell and repeat.

They sold the business maybe 5 years ago, the guy ran it almost in the ground. They bought it back pennies on the dollar. Just sold it again last year. They have more money than they know what to do with.
