Sale Concession stands Used

A Used Concession Stand Can Be the Beginning of a Great Business If you are looking for a way to make money, you might want to consider opening a concession stand. If you have an opportunity to have a stand at a park or in an area where there is a lot of traffic, you will always find hungry people. Rochester, NY for instance has lots of people going back and forth to work; the stands work great there. If you have food that is good, you will have people coming to you from other areas just to be able to purchase the food. There are many different types of stands, you can have carts, or larger portable stands such as the type that would be found at a fair. Or you can have permanent stands that might be found in fruit orchards or sport stadiums.

Have a Sale to Get Attention When you start up your business, have a sale. If you have a good product, you want to get everyone’s attention. You want them to be aware of your great product and you want to get that repeat business. It all depends on what you are going to be selling, if you have hot dogs, sell them at two for one dollar, or if you have nachos sell them at half your normal price. Sure you may not make a profit if you keep your sale going for several days, but consider it advertising money. Allowing the customer to test your product is going to bring in more business that a full page ad in the local newspaper.

Cater to Construction Workers With a Mobile Stand>/b>If you decide to have a mobile stand, check out your area and see which businesses would be conducive to having you service them with a mobile concession stand. Construction sites are great; they are on the job from early morning sometimes to late evening. Check out their schedule and plan to serve them breakfast and lunch. Make your menu simple but good. Give them fair portions for the amount you are charging. And be sure that you can get the food out fast. Take the orders in advance if necessary. They want to get their food and have time to relax and eat it before they get back on the job. If you can give them what they want, if the food is good and you are reliable, you will be amazed at how quickly you can be doing a booming business.

If You Want Beach Business Choose a Portable Stand If a portable stand is your choice, mark out your area. If you are going to be selling on a beach, you want to be there at the best time of the day, just after breakfast and before people leave the beach for dinner. You want to be able to provide cool drinks, ice cream and snacks for the time of the day they want to be on the beach. Give the people the food and snacks they want to keep them from having to leave the beach and you will be set for the season.
