Oh hi! I am a new member to this forum! First of all I would like to say that the person who owns/runs/operates Smoky Mountain Concessions LLC. and all those other shady websites is not very professional. He will try to sell you a very expensive concession trailer and then go MIA for weeks while you continue to lose money and revenues that you would have gained. If you are looking to buy a great concession trailer, such as a espresso drivethru or a barbecue stand or one of the five m ...

Greetings!

I am a full time accountant and a part time concession owner. I have a trailer that I purchased to participate in renaissance faires, mostly in Michigan. I started out with just shaved ice and drinks and have expanded to meet demand. I now serve hot dogs, brats, fries, chili, sloppy joes, shaved ice, and elephant ears. I was looking for people to chat with, share experiences, and share information with.

I am glad to meet everyone and hope the board takes off!

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Too bad there aren't more people here.

I am starting a food vending business and this will be my first season. I guess I am doing things the hard way - not using a trailor or any of the turn-key products. I hope to sell wok fried donuts and fresh brewed coffee to start. I purchased the 50 state code guide and hopefully it will answer some of my immediate questions.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Also I need a NAME!!!

My dream is to open up an espresso drive thru in my home town. I have a site in mind and from what I understand the town is very eager to introduce and expand more businesses. I want to set up meeting with landlord to rent space in a parking lot that houses a dollar store and church. Any ideas on what to bring to the table when I meet with him? I'm thinking photos of sample buildings, pics of another one in our area with menu to explain the vision that I have of my business, income possibilities ...

Admin how long did it take you to build your sites? They are loaded and really nice.

Could you advise me when is best time to buy concession equipment and also to start selling? I've heard there is a killing to be made in the food vending concessions, guess I'm just a bit afraid to get started.

Thanks for your help,

How is best way to get started in a concession business on a budget, and what are best foods to sell?

Thanks,

Just want to say Hello to everyone and thank you Admin for starting this as this soon will grow into a great forum.

Keep up the great work.

It saddens me to have to do this but I have put it off as long as possible. As of March 1, 2008 We will have to raise our prices 5% on our concession trailers. We have maintained our same prices for several years. It looks like we are going to have to go up a little do to high steel and general inflation.

That being said we will still maintain our lowest price online mission. If you find a lower price anywhere online or in the real world we will beat it. Plus we go that extrsa mile to ...

I would like to take this time to welcome Patches as the newest member to our growing forum. Thank you for joining.

Hi, wow, pretty quiet here, but it is a great idea and could be pretty useful once it gets it's legs.

I have done fair and festival vending in one form or another for 25 years and am currently selling honey and honey products while gearing up to do full-time food concessions to supplement a gov retirement pension.

Looking for plans to build a concession trailer when I found this forum in fact! Hope to see some good conversation here soon....
