Ok... I've been in the bulk candy vending business for a little over 2 years and have begun to grow the business... It's time for me to expand... I've been doing some research on Ice Cream Truck vending and have come to the conclusion that this may be a venture worth looking into...

The reason I say this is I've seen a few ice cream trucks in the area that are very "questionable"... I personally would not buy from them... However, I have seen the business they get when driving through my neighborhood... What I have found out is I may be able to offer a different variety of vending abilities... I've seen some trucks that have soft serve vending, other have the candy bar ice cream varities... I've even seen one where they partnered with a local ice cream shop, got discounted gallons, and sold that on their trucks...

So, I figure if I get a truck, really spruce it up, & offer a few more varities, it may be lucrative...

I know this is a big risk, so I want to make sure I have a well thought out business plan... But I don't have the first clue where to start... Does anyone do this type of business and makes good money at it??? Are there any websites you'd recommend to get information on truck set ups, where to buy inventory & marketing items, etc...

I figure once I have a descent business plan set, I'll then look into the local and state regulations on ice cream truck vending...

Any help you guys & gals can offer would be fantastic...

Thanks...

Christopher

I can't help you but this sounds like a very good idea I remember when I was younger and the ice cream truck would come through and a ton of kids would come out of the wood work... Just some insperation I supose...
