- Market Outlook / Competition
- The Erie, PA food truck season typically runs April through October, with the option to extend or operate in Florida, or other warmer states, from October to April, as we have done. The Erie’s market is smaller than many across the country with much less competition. We participate in several successful annual events and regularly decline others due to scheduling limits. The business is well established in Erie but can be relocated if desired.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Our three-year average gross annual revenue is $73,483, with a peak of over $127,000 in 2023 and strong potential for growth. Since 2023, we’ve reduced our involvement to focus on other pursuits. A mostly full-time owner-operator could reasonably replicate — and potentially exceed — our 2023 performance.
