Thank you for the kind words Casefan. If you have any specific business questions just start a private conversation here on HEF. I might not know the answer but I can share what I know.
DG's can be good projects. They are usually less than 1 AC, have some sort of demo and site utilities which can all be profitable. Most DG stores are not owned by DG but a developer that leases the store back to DG, so vet who you are working for before signing the contract - the owner/developer and the GC.
Fast food joints are another profitable site work avenue. If you can perform the utilities it's more profitable than a DG due the grease traps, dumpster drains and sometimes fire water if it has to be sprinkled.
Auto parts stores are good jobs as well. Most of the big chain stores are all corporate owned which is beneficial when it comes to change orders. They want the store open on time first - cost second. Basically if you can meet the schedule any change order is approved quickly within reason. That can be very profitable.
