Sun considered several locations around Bloomington when looking for a building to house Lotus Garden. He chose the property along North Walnut Street because he liked how it faces the main road, giving it high visibility and accessibility. He liked the spacious and uncongested area in front of the restaurant. He liked how customers would be able to park their cars in the lot across the road once the 14-space parking lot in front of his restaurant was filled. Sun and his business partners all graduate from IU within the next two years. Despite budding future plans and goals, Sun said he plans to keep Lotus Garden for a steady flow of income. Amelia Chong
