I have a fast food shop on a main road corner site. The problem is, it's not actually visible until you are almost right in front of it and if you're driving you generally won't notice it because it seems to be positioned for low visibility!

And the parking is not good either although there is a decent amount of parking. People just have to walk to a bit, and maybe cross the road (I didn't choose it).

We have usual shaped shop signs because my partners were too tight with the money, but now they realise their mistake.

We want to build several of these shops, but first we need to make this one busy. What are some ways to market this shop inspite of its low visibility and bad parking, that isn't really expensive long term?

Thanks! :)
