I think I might need to go back to Home Depot and ask for the manager. I would love to be able to set up my cart in front of Home Depot, especially now that I'm going to have me some Vienna promotional products to display, including an umbrella!

They are a concession management company that many Lowes and Home Depot stores use to place hot dog carts in front of their stores. Talk to the store manager first to see if they outsource that function to Street Eats. If they don't then you can deal directly with the manager. If they do, you will have to apply to Street Eats and be approved. If you are approved, you will pay rent to Street Eats. The rent can be a bit steep, but you will have an enormous amount of foot traffic. -Steve Rick,
