The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Hot dog vending carts
Hot dog trailers and vending carts come in a variety of styles suitable for either indoor or outdoor use. Prices typically range from about $2,000 to $10,000, but some smaller models and used food vending trailers can be purchased for less.
I recommend:
TheHotDogCart.com and AAAHotDogCarts.com have several types including push carts with umbrellas and enclosed carts. HotDogCarts.com offers D.O.T. tow-ready carts. AllAmericanHotDog.com sells used carts that are listed for up to 50 percent off retail. Check out additional suppliers for hot dog vending carts at Business.com.
Food concession trailers
Hot dogs haven’t cornered the market on concessions. If it can be served on a stick or through a window, you can have custom-made food concession trailers made to order. Food concession trailers run from under $10,000 upwards of $25,000.
I recommend:
All A Cart Manufacturing makes custom vending carts, food kiosks, step vans, sprinters, food vending trailers and vending tricycles. Pace American manufactures commercial-quality, flat-top trailers with heavy-duty truck body style construction. Shop for used food vending trailers nationwide at ConcessionTrailers.com. Supreme Products makes custom made concession trailers and vending carts. For a directory of manufacturers for concessions trailers and the overall visit Business.com.
Other specialty concession trailers and mobile food carts
If you’d prefer to serve a specialty food item, look for manufacturers who sell food carts that serve barbeque, cotton candy, smoothies and more.
I recommend:
HTmarket.com offers cotton candy and popcorn carts. If you’re in the market for ice cream, gelato or smoothie carts, check out this listings at Business.com or suppliers like 800BuyCart.com, MagnoliaCarts.com or TurnkeyParlor.com.
Tips & Tactics for Best Use of Food Vending Trailers
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Equipment, such as stoves and refrigeration systems, are often built into vending carts and concession trailers.
- Decide how you will transport food carts or food vending trailers. If you choose a towable trailer, make sure it is D.O.T. approved and it is able to be licensed, wired for taillights and generally road-ready. Regulations differ from state-to-state, so check out your state’s licensing requirements.
- Before you hire your vending carts out for business, make sure you’ve passed muster with the county health department and you’ve gotten all vending licenses and permits to sell concessions.
