What makes people drive past, or why does this pho restaurant exist in the middle of nowhere?

Usually, places like this spring up in the middle of nowhere because it's a first generation immigrant who found an affordable place to live out his dream and start a business. Odds are the food is pretty good and the work ethic is strong.

People drive past because they're more suspicious than curious.

This. I would get to know the owner and then open up a small motel next to his restaurant and together we can found a nice little enclave for travelers.

Vietnamese anon here, this is very normal back in Vietnam.

Old ways thinking, there has to have a rest/food/bar open 24/7 at highway or out of nowhere because:
1. there is no competitor.
2. you could change a bit more for this special feat and also because 1.

Usually, owners of this type of business are very chill because they're sick of the competition way in the city.
