Business Description
Food Cart Business Expansion Rights to Five Locations
Offered for sale is a long-established, highly profitable food cart business with more than 30 years of operations. The business currently operates a single cart producing approximately $265,000 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings, with simple operations and exceptional margins. Sales average over $1000 per hour during a three-hour operational period. The business currently generates approximately $61,000 per month in revenue from just one location.
The sale includes five transferable city peddler permits, allowing a buyer to expand to multiple simultaneous locations at their discretion. Recently, the seller has intentionally maintained a single-cart model for lifestyle reasons.
A nearby commissary kitchen is also available for lease allowing the owner to quickly prep and clean up. Easy menu prep and fast production makes this business less labor-intensive than most food operations.
If you like making $$$ in a fast paced-work day that is over before 3pm, then this is the business for you!

Opportunities for Growth
There are four additional permits purchased within the city, one being a mobile peddler's license. The city is not issuing anymore permits for mobile food carts. Conservative estimates show sales of $1.4 Million with all five locations operating.
