Hot Dog Concession Stand

Ok get this one,

It is a hot dog concession stand that is located in front of a Home Depot. The owner is asking $150k for it! and claims that the owner will make $75-$100k+ a year....that is a lot of hot dogs.
Here is his posting:

I am on to bigger and better things…. So it’s time to sell the hot dog stand. This is an ideal business for a hands-on operator. The unit is located in front of Home Depot, so foot traffic is guaranteed – even more so when the housing market rebounds. All permits and licenses are current – as we are permitted to remain on premises over night. Home Depot charges a very modest rent. All utilities are included. This business has been on location for about 8 years and we have built a very loyal customer base. Almost all the equipment in the unit is less than 2 years old and training will be made available upon request. This is a very fun and easy business to operate. I’m asking $150,000 for the business. The new owner should expect to clear that within 2 years in the current market conditions. When the housing market improves, new owner can expect to make $100K+.

Honestly, who would buy something like this?! You could go set up the exact same thing at another Home Depot for less than 5% of what the guy is asking! (and you can add much better food choices like Acai or churros )
