What are the reason to choose locations like hospitals, campuses and railway stations when opening your store?

When we plan to open a store in these types of places we keep in mind that we have to serve better than others focusing on customer satisfaction, as we already know that these places are not so luxurious to have food randomly. We provide them good and hygienic food at a reasonable price.
