Victoria Square marks the end of New Street, but the walk through the City Centre continues a little further through Victoria Square, Chamberlain Square and into Centenary Square on Broad Street. Victoria Square, the heart of the civic centre of Birmingham, is now the place from which distances to the city are measured. First into view on the approach from New Street is a statue known as The Iron Man by Antony Gormley. The square is surrounded by many prominent buildings. On the western side is the Town Hall, on its northern side is the Council House, on its eastern side is 130 Colmore Row and on the south side is Victoria Square House. Why I am selling here The doughnut stall will be able to interact with many people at Victoria Square so the structure of the stall has to be very accessible, having more than one side open for the customers, so it will attract more of the public in. The stall will be places at the bottom of the fountain and steps at Victoria Square. Positioned here people from all the way down New Street will be able to see the stall as well as people walking in Chamberlain Square and Waterloo Street. The trees at the bottom of the steps could be used as privacy for part of the stall. There are many safe places in Victoria Square as there is a lot of open space near the council house and many roads in the area. References

After thinking it through, I thought that the Victoria Square would be the best place for the doughnut shelter, as there would be less competition there and would be more noticeable. Most of the people walking around this area would be the business people who work in the nearby offices and also many adults and young adults.
