Agriculture in a major city may seem like an absurd idea, but John Bender, the creator of a small taco shop, thought otherwise. As he passed by a modest piece of land at a crossroads of two highways, he was inspired to create a corner that would remind people of the past.
After acquiring the land, John established a ranch amidst skyscrapers. Understanding that making a profit from such a business immediately would be challenging, he set up a gas station on a convenient site to serve as the main source of income.
Investments in Business Organization and Development
With a decent income from the taco shop, John's budget allowed him to fully organize the business. After buying the land, creating infrastructure, erecting necessary buildings, John spent around $4 million. With little savings left, the business was quite risky.
The work included:
- road improvement;
- installation of traffic lights;
- construction of the main center;
- gas station (by the way, have you seen the idea of on-call car refueling here?);
- expenses on sculptures and landscaping.
In the end, John created an extensive corner called "Fuel City," with the slogan "Where Dreams Turn into Reality."
Over time, he decided to bring the ranch closer to the past. John brought in bison and zebras, installed a vintage windmill purchased from antique dealers, and even found a small oil derrick. Currently, his ranch attracts many tourists. Even locals stop not just to refuel their cars but to visit the popular establishment.
According to regulars, John sells the best Mexican tacos in the city. Sales are conducted around the clock. Clients can visit the shop and have a snack while refueling their cars at any time. Passing tourists can enjoy the views and photograph the animals.
Unlike a typical farm, John's is a full-fledged Texas ranch based on traditional ranching methods. However, the business is also suitable for developing a standard farm. Detailed information about animal breeding and profitability can be found here.
Ranch Features
Agriculture in America has always been associated with remote areas where people engaged in animal breeding and crop harvesting. However, John transformed this concept entirely by creating a leisure spot for visitors from a cattle ranch. Here, you can have an outdoor lunch, enjoy natural views, and observe animals. It's a very original idea, especially since it's realized in the middle of a city.
Unfortunately, not everyone may dare to take such a step. Share this article with friends. It will help them achieve their goal and create a business that will bring them immense pleasure.
