Opening bakery/grab and go

Looking to open a bakery/grab and go lunch spot in the area. I know Hampton roads is mostly shopping plazas with adjacent neighborhood pockets but was wondering where the best place to look for a commercial spot that gets foot traffic that ISNT the oceanfront. Any ideas or thoughts?

A lot of emergency vehicles at Woodspring Suites on Sentinel Dr

Just came up to the Kroger on Sentinel Drive and there are a ton of emergency vehicles around the Woodspring Suites. Anyone know what's going on?

Ok so everyone chime in who's been to the mall.

Must be more people curious about this place that noticed it is never busy.

This post is no disrespect to the owner. I have been coming to this mall for 25+ yrs. It's now undergoing a construction. However the mall food court will remain. I come for the Chinese restaurant (as do many others). And we see this smoothie place next to it.
Literally almost NEVER is someone being served. Any time l've seen someone be helped it's 1 person at a time and no line EVER forms. So much of the time the single employee/owner is just sitting down doing nothing. It's been here prob a couple yrs at least.

Someone else I know that I ran into here for lunch joked that it's gotta be a front for something else. Seriously doubt that of course but so curious how the business is still running. On the counter is 1 single mixer. Most businesses would surely have at least a handful ready for use at any time. I'm so fascinated or intrigued that this place is still running but nervous to talk to him
I've seen places here have much more business and still fold & shut down.

Any thoughts?
