Any Street Vendors H
 
Hello Fellow Sowpubers,
LindaC here.

Wanted to ask, Is there any fellow Sowpubers that operate a street business? Especially a hot dog cart.

My Best 2 U,

LindaC

This may be helpful - its geared more towards food trucks than street carts or stalls however:

Hi Ankish,
LindaC here.

What I wanted to know...is there any Sowpubers that own/operate a mobile food cart such as a hot dog cart.

Hi Robert J. and Phil,
LindaC here.

Robert J. Good to hear from you. Phil, thank you for all the information. Three years ago I visited Bens Carts in Gatalinburg, Tenn.

I'm a partner/owner of a mobile hot dog cart.

We do fairs/festivals

Great, all cash business. Work 14 week-ends and take the rest of the year http://www.roadfood.com/Restaurant/O.../le-caves???/?. .

My Best 2 U,
LindaC

Was hoping there was another food vendor on the forum.

Linda, that's great! I've long been fascinated by the opportunity of the dog cart ...

The link you shared is broken. Is that a thread about your dog cart on roadfood?

Hi Robert,
LindaC here.

Sorry about the link in my post. I thought I had deleted the link.

Yes, the street food business is an exciting and profitable business.
The hot dog business is a very profitable business.

Cost to put a fully loaded hot dog in the hands of a customer $0.60 sells for $3.00.
Most festivals/fairs a vendor can easily sell 100 - 150 hot dogs. Same with burgers, sausages, can drinks, and bottled water.

My Best 2 U,

LindaC
