Space to lease at convenience store

[Account Closed]

Recently, I have had to take over my father small country store due to his health issues. He has owned the business for 37 years and everything is paid for. The business has not changed during this time and the numbers are "ok." The business sits at an intersection and I believe a conservative traffic count of vehicles passing each day is about 1,000.

There is about a quarter acre of flat yard attached to the business that he has we could lease out to generate extra income to cover the extra expenses. I prefer not to build anything but offer up the space to lease to someone. My first thought is large vending machines like those from "Twice the Ice" and lease square footage to that person who wishes have one there.

Are there any other ideas or concepts that could work leasing space for non permanent structures?
