Possible Locations that could favor a food/restaurant business.

For some businesses, location is key. If you don't get the location right with these kinds of businesses, you are already set up to fail. One such business is the food/restaurant business. You can't just open a restaurant anywhere and believe it would fly. In this post, I would give some locations the food/ restaurant business would likely thrive.

The first place that the restaurant/food business would do well is around campuses. Locations that are close to tertiary institution campuses are hotbeds for the restaurant business. This is because there is always a high influx of people in these areas. And most times, students don't have the time to cook leaving them with no other option than to buy food.

Another location that guarantees success for the food/restaurant business is any location where many offices and parastatals are located. There are areas like this where many institutions have their operational offices. There is always a large number of people in these locations because people come to work there and also patronize these institutions. An example is a banking district or layout. Surely, these people must satiate their hunger. Another good location for a food business is any place close to a hospital. At these places, the food business is bound to thrive.

Sure, a business of this sort needs to be located in a place where people visit regularly and usually will have the need of feeding. You have mentioned two very strategic locations that can be really nice for a restaurant business.

I think another good place that this kind of a business can flourish is in highly commercial areas. These are places people from afar off come with the purpose of trading and they usually may spend some days there. They do not come with the plan of cooking and of course they need to eat. So restaurants around that place will be their first resort. Examples are the vegetable markets we have around here. Farmers from far towns come to sell their goods and so they need food and therefore restaurants around the place really get much patronage.

And as you have also said, schools of higher leaning are very nice locations to site a restaurant.
