But I think it's hard to profit from selling small items with low margins..
What area are you looking to purchase a business in?
Why don't you open up another restaurant?
This is my first business so that's why I want something to be as simple as possible and I am doing this for the experience mostly, money is secondary. Opening a restaurant is an option, but not right now, it costs way too much and I am just not ready to handle such a large operation. I am looking @ Vancouver West End and DT mostly right now. I checked out a few in Burnaby but they're all really dead (typical suburbia).

Thanks for all the replies guys! Keep them coming!
