What is the most profitable business?

Hey business owners out there which is more profitable?

• Hi which is more profitable, a hot dog stand in a busy district or a flea market stand that you have to pay 50 dollars a day to be at the stand for the day. Personally the only true investment i think is the actual cost of the hot dog stand, that is the most expensive and then the hot dogs and stuff needed but I think its cheaper and more profitable than having to buy things wholesale all the time to sell at flea markets. If anyone has any experience in these please do tell. I just want to figure out which one is more profitable so I can travel in that direction and start my business, thank you for your time.

  Well, I live in New Orleans and I had a Snowball stand on a busy street when I was 22. It is somewhat like a hot dog stand. It was quite easy to maintain and most of the money I made was PURE profit. If I were you I would take the hot dog stand. That is just me, but I think if you are looking for a pure profit very little upkeep and supply cost, the hot dog stand is for you. With my snowball stand, my initial cost was 1000 dollars or so, and about 20 buck a week to upkeep. I was making about 500 dollars a week on average plus tip so I'd say I was doing pretty well.
