Coffee Trucks For Sale – Why buy them?
Coffee has a global appeal for beverage sales. It is part of the global food culture and certainly dominant in the food service industry. As stated in the above video, “Coffee is the second highest global commodity in the world. This industry that is worth over $100 billion across the globe. Now that’s a lot of coffee!
So, of course, any budding entrepreneur would want to connect with an already proven successful product for their own business. But not just as a beverage alongside food options – but as the business itself.
Coffee’s Popularity with Consumers
The average American will spend annually $1,000 on a cup of joe and average three and a half cups a day. In their 2018 Annual Report, Starbucks shows 29,324 stores worldwide of combined licensed and company-owned stores. Of those, 17,454 are in America alone. They have proven that coffee as a business model can be successful. Even Dunkin Donut (with name change to just “Dunkin” in 2018) that started in 1955 focused then on the 52 variety of donuts – now focuses more on coffee with 12,000 locations in 46 countries. According to their website’s own historical document, “The company serves approximately 1.9 billion cups of hot and iced coffee every year, with standards for coffee excellence that are among the best in the industry.” Bottom line: coffee is profitable and there is a high demand for it.
Location Matters!
Starbucks and Dunkin are both focused on brick and mortar locations. They’re trying to get one on nearly every street corner you can pass. According to their 2018 Annual Reports, between 2017 and 2018, Starbucks opened 401 stores in America and only closed 48. Dunkin opened a net of 278 restaurants in the United States.
That’s where concession trailers have an advantage, they are mobile. When a location is booming, it great. During slow times at that spot, a trailer can simply move to a more lucrative one. Coffee is not just a breakfast drink. This means a business district in the morning and early afternoons is great. Moving closer to busier after work locations can mean an increase in the return on investment. This is something a brick and mortar simply cannot do. Additionally, the cost to build concession trailers is considerably less than to build out a brick and mortar restaurant. A business with low operational cost and mobility – this is the “Concession Trailer Advantage.”
