Popcorn Concessions

feeds@yuku.com (Papaw) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:40:27 GMT

I'm considering a Popcorn Concession trailer. I like the thought of ease of operation and profit margin, but am unsure of the popularity of such an item at festivals and car shows. I'm not really interested in fairs or amusement sites. So, a few questions:

IS this a popular item as a stand alone (flavored popcorns)?

Would you suggest offering beverages?

If so, bottled, canned or fountain?

Is there a manufacturer that specializes in this type of...

My name is Marvin Lemus.
I'm a film student in Los Angeles and I'm currently shooting a class project which is a documentary on the catering truck business here in L.A.
We're just starting out and we're looking to find a story. So far we have met a few people that are willing to let us film their business and interview them but we are looking to go beyond that.

We're taking a light-hearted approach to this as we feel like catering trucks are something...

feeds@yuku.com (vendor) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 10:13:15 GMT

What are the pros and cons to of vending carts opposed vending trucks in a big city like Boston? Also, how do I drop of my cart at my vending location, if I'm a one man operation, and park my car a few blocks away, without my stand getting stolen/vandalized? Furthermore, if I were to get a cart, how can I lock up my equipment if I were to run an errand?

New vs. Re-built Trailer

feeds@yuku.com (Jacob) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 17:56:19 GMT

Has anyone had any experience buying an empty trailer and building it into a mobile concession with the full kitchen? How was the experience. I have a carpenter who can do the work, however, I am unsure if it will be worth the hassle. Can anyone answer that?

2. Do anyone have a blue print to follow if I do construct the trailer 8*14

Thanks

Hot Dog Steamer Cabinet

feeds@yuku.com (Jimmyph) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 05:42:58 GMT

Hello All! I was wondering if anybody knows how to get the must smell out of a hot dog & bun counter top steamer cabinet. When I bought it it had lime scale in the water pan, so I used an acid based lime scale remover which worked wonders. But now when I use it, it smells kind of musty. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
