Working Outside Home Depot or Lowes?

Finding a great location is always on the mind of a street food vendor. When thinking about location ideas, many people are tempted to pay for a prime spot at a Home Depot or Lowes, or other big box store. Yes, some people do well at a place like that, but you want to consider the pros and cons before signing up for that gig. You will be giving up some of your freedom when you agree to work through Street Eats or another vendor manager service. Get the details before you sign the contract.
