A breakfast burrito stand that started inside a 200-square-foot shed at a Home Depot parking lot in Southern California brought in $2.3 million (£1.7 million) in combined sales across two locations in 2025, according to documents reviewed by CNBC.
The business, LJ's Lil' Cafe, is run by Lydia Holmes, 36, and John Clarke, 33. The original shed in Cypress, California, opened in September 2021. A second brick-and-mortar site in Orange, California, followed in July 2025.
