Q: What Type of Location Would I need?
The typical Nach-O Fast, Corn Dog Factory, or Co-Branded, is located in a major mall or retail store and operates best within 200 to 700 sq. ft. Your location within the facility is very important. We strongly suggest heavy foot traffic and visibility. Beyond the walls of a mall, more and more foot traffic is found in convention centers and stadiums, airports, train stations, and retail shopping stores.
