Supplies for Food Vending Trailers

Find the best products to sell for your mobile food cart

Supplies for food vending trailers consist of food products, beverages, napkins and other paper products, snacks and whatever else you intend to sell to your customers. Buy this product in bulk from the warehouse and resell to your customers.

Local wholesale supply companies will be able to provide some of the goods you need, but for other products, it may be best to go directly to the company for the best prices. Beverages, for example, usually sell for the least if you buy them directly from the soda manufacturer. The same is true of many snack products. Investigate the following when buying supplies for food vending trailers:

1. Choose beverage companies to buy soda, water and more to sell on your food carts.

2. Locate vending snack companies for potato chips and other snacks for vending carts.

3. Purchase paper goods and supplies for mobile food carts from wholesale vendors.

 

Select beverage choices for your food concession trailers

Sell soda, water, juice and coffee and quench your customers' thirst. Obtain different flavors of soda and coffee to spark your customers' interest and make them return to buy from you again.
Try: Beverages Direct carries soda, energy drinks, water and sugar free drinks and offers a wide variety of flavors. Jones Soda offers various flavors of soda including fufu berry, blue bubble gum and crushed melon. Coffee Bean sells coffee and tea wholesale. Look at the long list of products and choose something different for your customers. Specialty Java sells coffee wholesale in 15 or 25 pound increments. They will private label your coffee for an additional fee.

Find vending snack companies that supply snacks and healthy foods for portable food carts

Snacks are the mainstay for busy workers who do not have time to stop for a complete meal. Offer chips and treats for a quick pick-me-up for your customers.
Try: Aramark Refreshments sells healthy snack treats and juices. Conn's Potato Chips sells potato chips for mobile food carts under their label or will private label them for you. Herr's sells potato chips, pretzels and popcorn snacks for your food vending cart.

Pick wholesale companies for other supplies for your food vending carts

You will need the extras that go with your products such as straws, napkins and coffee stirrers. Buy these at your local wholesale house or have them delivered to your commissary.
Try: Betty Mills sells creamers, sugar, paper towels and other supplies you need. MCT sells coffee filters, cups and lids as well as other products you need.

 

• When you buy in bulk for your food kiosk, you may need a license to prove you are in business. Visit local city or county officials and ask about licenses and permits for your business.
