Some things never go out of style! If you want to stand out from the sea of food trucks and create a distinguishable brand for your business, vintage coffee trucks and coffee trailers are the way to go. Most people don’t want to waste their mornings by spending half an hour in line. This is where you come in as a solution to their problem! A coffee truck serves as an on-the-go option that still comes with all the flavors and customizable options of a traditional coffee shop. You may have noticed that vintage trucks are becoming more popular over the years, and today we’ll go over some of the perks of owning one.
What’s the Benefit of Vintage Trucks and Trailers?
A great benefit of these trucks is that they’re incredibly eye-catching. If you’re at an event, surrounded by other food trucks that all have the same body shape and design, a renovated and retro truck will stand out; in a good way! The food/beverage industry is competitive, and while the mobile coffee industry doesn’t have too much competition yet, now is a great time to get in and establish yourself. Having an attention-grabbing vintage truck will immediately set you apart from your competition. Remember, your vehicle serves as a moving advertisement and can also help with your company’s branding. Everyone loves trendy coffee shops, so your one-of-a-kind vehicle will solidify your business as the new trendy spot.
While the outside provides a classic and timeless look, the inside of your truck will be highly modern with state-of-the-art equipment! Our trucks and trailers are meticulously designed to work at optimum efficiency, pass all inspections and permits, and look incredible. A beautiful vehicle can create the perfect centerpiece for an event, corporate party, or farmers market. We understand that life inside the truck gets hectic during those high-pressure days with a seemingly endless line of hungry customers. So, we’ll ensure that every truck or trailer we create maximizes efficiency, functionality, and workability. You’re going to spend a lot of time there, so we will make sure it’s a space that you enjoy!
Why Sell Coffee?
Vintage coffee trucks and trailers are a brilliant idea for a simple reason. Everyone loves coffee! Your customers are highly likely to turn into regulars, as most people drink coffee every day. The National Coffee Association (NCA) conducted an extremely comprehensive survey of American coffee drinking habits and found some remarkable statistics. They found that 7 in 10 Americans drink coffee every week and that 62% drink coffee every day! Additionally, coffee consumption in the United States is up by 5% since 2015, and most coffee drinkers consume over 3 cups per day. So, it’s safe to say that your target market is out there and waiting for you!
Compared to other types of food businesses, coffee comes with some cost-saving aspects. Not only are the startup costs lower than brick-and-mortar shops, but coffee also tends to have a much longer shelf life than other food items. You can save money on bulk purchases and don’t have to worry about your inventory spoiling. Plus, if your coffee business is thriving, you can potentially double your sales by adding pastries, bagels, cookies, or other items to upsell on your menu. Even if you’re not getting as much business as you had hoped for, you find new audiences and customers by parking your mobile coffee shop near a college campus, business center, festival, event, or any other high-traffic area. Just remember to check to make sure you have to collect permits if necessary.
