Food Trucks For Sale Blog Series: Top Reasons To Join The Mobile Kitchen Industry
In the spirit of launching the Food Trucks For Sale Blog Series, next up we will tackle the top reasons (six to be exact) to join the mobile kitchen industry.
If you are looking for used food trucks for sale, this has your name written all over it.
6. It’s Not A Get-Rich-Quick Scheme — But The Industry Is Booming Right Now
The food truck industry might not be a get-rich-quick scheme — sorry to disappoint you — but it is booming right now. Simply put, if you plan your food truck business right, said food truck business could be thriving in no time.
Nonetheless, if you are ever going to take up concession trailer space, now is the perfect time.
5. Low Cost
Okay, so you are still going to drop some serious dough (possibly literally and figuratively depending on what your concept is) on a mobile food truck, but if you are thinking about entering this industry, you likely thought about opening your own restaurant as well (of course, that is not always the case).
Typically, starting up your own food truck is going to be less of an investment than starting up a restaurant — which is huge for people who want to save some money initially, but still want to crack into the food industry.”

In this series, we will help those looking to take up concession trailer space make key decisions. You know, like food concepts to consider for future owners.
6. American
When thinking of a mobile kitchen, most folks probably think of hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza and other delicious foods that fit under the American category. This concept is rather popular, which means one important thing: It works.
That said, make sure you aren’t setting up your food truck business next to other owners who serve up this same concept.
5. Mexican
Tacos, burritos, enchiladas — you name it. People love Mexican food. This is another popular food truck concept, and it seems as if the food truck industry can’t get enough. People in love with food, especially Mexican food, probably aren’t complaining.
4. Hawaiian
If you are looking for food carts for sale and want to really spice things up/think outside of the box, go with the Hawaiian concept. If you have ever had spam musubi, short ribs, chicken katsu or other Hawaiian favorites, then you understand just how amazing this food can be to the taste buds.
In no time, your lunch truck could be making plenty of people’s days — because this food is perfect for serving up in mobile kitchen trailer fashion.”

Food Trucks For Sale Blog Series: Struggles Future Owners Will Face
If you are looking for used food trucks for sale, we have you covered with the Food Trucks For Sale Blog Series. In this edition of the series, we will look at struggles future owners will face.
Just remember, buying your food truck and setting up shop is only half the battle (if that), but it is still a great start.
Without further ado, let’s tackle those struggles future food truck owners will face.
6. The Competition
Not only are there other food trucks you will be competing with, but there are also other enemies that will steal your business outside of the food truck industry. You know, like sit-down restaurants and fast food restaurants. Since the food industry will always be in business, this means you will always have competition, and plenty of it.
5. Creating Your Brand
What do you stand for? Who are you? What is your food concept? What is your brand? Creating your brand is going to be tough, but it is something that has to be done (not just for a mobile kitchen business, but any business).
4. Being The New Kid On The Block
Being the new kid on the block can work to your advantage. After all, people like to try new food places, which means many people could be coming to your gourmet food truck based off of that concept alone.
However, not everyone likes to leave their food shell, which means your lunch truck could struggle in the beginning — because established restaurants are already getting all of the business. The big question: What can your mobile catering truck offer that other food trucks or restaurants aren’t already offering?
3. Getting Social Media Down
Everyone has a Facebook, Twitter or some sort of social media. Therefore, you will be doing yourself a huge favor by tackling social media. This could be your greatest tool/weapon. Plus, how else are food lovers going to find your mobile kitchen trailer? Through your Facebook and Twitter account, of course.”
