Setting up a stall at the university gate is a good business and has supported many people
Universities really do support a lot of business people. Many universities have tens of thousands of students, and these students have a fairly rich life outside class. In the evening, many students choose to wander around outside the school, which is undoubtedly a very good thing for people doing business nearby. Here, based on my own school experience, I will share a few businesses that are quite suitable for running at a university gate.
1. Clothing
If the university you are near has a lot of female students and stall vending is allowed in the evening, selling clothes should be a good choice. That is because many female students still come out in the evening to stroll around. Although online shopping is so developed, after all, with online shopping you cannot touch the actual item. If you happen to have good taste and can stock some trendy clothes, business should still be quite good.
2. Snacks
I think what many people think of first must be snacks. Do not underestimate the power of food lovers. As long as your food tastes good enough, you do not need to worry about having no customers. The power of students is still great. If you also join a food delivery service or something similar, personally I think business will not be too bad. Of course, all of this is premised on good taste.
3. Fruit
If you have a tricycle that can haul goods and also display products, selling fruit is also a good choice. Students' pursuit of a healthy life is still quite strong. If your fruit looks good enough and the price is relatively reasonable, students' purchasing power is still very strong. Going out for a stroll and buying some fruit along the way is also quite nice.
4. Relatively novel little knick-knacks
College students still have fairly ample living expenses, and many students quite like things with novelty. If what you sell is some very novel and distinctive small goods or handmade products, it can still attract students' attention. For example, a few years ago a college student made dried flower works and sold them, and in the end it was very successful. Of course, the price must be reasonable; only then can it attract people even more.
