[quote=Anonymous]I helped run our concession stand at a large public for the past 3 years.

Top sellers:
Sour candy
Spicy chips, like Flaming Hot Cheetos or Takis
Cup o noodles, especially when the weather turns cool
Pizza (we bought from Costco or a local chain that gave us a discount in exchange for advertising as a sponsor)
Hot dogs
Gatorade
More bottled water than you can imagine on hot days
Dr Pepper, orange soda, Sprite
Hot chocolate ... even on warm nights, but then especially so as it gets colder in the fall. 
If you have a way to keep ice cream bars frozen, those can be a good seller on hot nights. 
Cheap penny candies that we keep right by the register, like individual airheads or jolly ranchers.  People will add a handful to just about any purchase, and the markup can be huge without giving them sticker shock so the profit really adds up.

Low sellers:
Chocolate candy - it melts when it's hot out, so it's a pain to keep fresh.  We only buy a few chocolate things and keep them in the fridge.
Diet soda - we keep a few on hand, but sell about 1 diet soda for every 50 regular cans

Popcorn is ok. We don't sell a ton, and it is a pain to run and clean the machine... but once you have the machine, the popcorn is so cheap that anything we sell is basically pure profit. So we keep making it even though it's not our top money-maker.

Walking tacos are popular but a lot of work. Tbd whether we're going to do them again this year. [/quote]
