The coffee jeep at Central Park.

[GordonJ]

Across from Trump towers, and before you get to Trump Ice Rink in Central Park, there is a jeep. A coffee jeep. Pic attached.

When I was in NYC, I spoke to scores of street vendors, trying to get a feel for their businesses. Tons and tons of hot dogs, pretzels and drinks, and food and coffee are sold daily in NYC.

This JEEP vendor, had a self contained unit, drive up, set up and drive away.

Self0-contained, even beans on top, he said WATER was the crucial part, but he had tricks to keep it handy.

Anyhow, as we discuss the many money making ventures all around us, it is great to see people out there doing it, and adapting for their customers.

The jeep had huge tires, looked like a reinforced axle of some kind, and could haul a ton of stuff, probably quite literally.

Coffee, which is water and some ground up beans have some of the highest profits in the food industry, just ask Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts, or Folger's and Maxwell House.

I took a lot of pictures in NYC, which will pop up as discussion warrants.

I suspect LOCATION plays a big part, as it does in any food cart business, but, downtown, midtown and uptown, and in the boroughs, TONS of these food vendors abound.

Thanks Gordon,

The Movie Theater effects are clever.

The Welcome matt.

The shiny machinery LOOKS CLEAN.

But as Gary Halbert used to say, "A Starving Crowd is The Secret to making Maximum munny in Minimum Time."

I just read an article.

84% of Americans Drink 2 or more cups of coffee a day.

So.

Perhaps ANYWHERE a food license will let you Park
that has lots of Generic Coffee Drinking people walking by will do.

I'm sure Gary H would AGREE.

An ADDICTED CROWD is just as good or better than a Starved Crowd.

Hi Gordon.
Any vendor in New York will make a ton of money.
It is like owning a goldmine. The problem is to get
a vendor license. The number of licences are strictly
regulated and hard to get. After all, this is the
Big Apple.

And that is why I love ________
Northeast Ohio.

Akron is close to Cleveland, all the culture I care to handle.

Great location, except for Winter, but for 7 months a year, this is the best location in the nation.

If you can't say that about where you live, then I must ask, WHY do you live there?

Love the big apple, for brief visits.

Gather ideas, apply to Akron, or NOT. The jeep coffee shop could work in 101 different cities. And, so could most food vending trucks...but just as it was next to impossible to get a vendor permit in San Diego, any idea which is mobile, can hit the road, as thousands do every year for fairs and events.
