All concession trailers have common elements, including electric, water and plumbing, commercial hood ventilation and windows and equipment that can be modified.
Yes of course we will. You must contact your local health department as well as your fire marshal whom will forward to you the requirements that we will follow in order to build your trailer to meet all code and regulations.
There are hundreds of different health codes through out the U.S. all codes will require at least the following: 3-compartment sink with drain boards (drain boards vary state to state), hand wash sink, fresh and gray water holding tanks (gray water is normally 15% larger than the freshwater tank). Hot water, smooth, clean wipe able and light colored interior surfaces. Cooking operations will require a commercial hood ventilation system with a stainless steel backsplash and a manual fire extinguisher.
A fire suppression unit is an emergency extinguishing system in which nozzles are placed under the commercial hood over each piece of cooking equipment with an open flame (steam table exempt) if the temperature exceeds a certain amount (normally 450-500) a dry liquid powdered chemical will be dispersed and the gas will automatically be shut-off. This system also comes with a K-class fire extinguisher. Even if your local health inspector tells you that you are not required to have a fire suppression unit check with the fire marshal, he has higher jurisdiction than an inspector. Non remember if you choose not to have this unit installed and you travel out of your local area or into another state where it is required and mandatory, you will not be permitted to open and in turn will now be closed down before the event has even opened. Therefore you not only lose the money you would have made for the weekend but you would also lose your entrance fee. So to put it shortly, choosing not to have fire suppression could cost you a lot more than anticipated.
Many festivals and locations will furnish you with power but many will not. So if you want to be 100% fully self contained the answer is yes. Remembered if you are to loose power at an event of festival the price of a generator would pay for itself in about 3 hours.
It may be 16 feet long or it may be a 53-foot semi trailer, there is never enough room, so think about this when designing your concession trailer. Consider very carefully the options available like system cabinets instead of worktop tables for extra storage of dry goods or adding shelves wherever you can. Remember you never have enough space.

If a trailer is purchased and shipped outside the state of Florida, we do not collect sales tax on the transaction. You will be responsible for paying sales tax to your home state when you register the trailer.

Yes you can. We also provide training if needed on a real trailer.
YES! You may want to chock one side of the unit in an angled position so elements will not accumulate on the roof. You may even choose to place it under a car port or shed of some kind to help ward off the elements.
AND YOU !!
There are over 300,000 festivals and special events for you and your concession trailer to participate in the US annually, this means you should never be out of work as a concessionaire.
People whom are exploring the idea of purchasing a concession trailer always tell me of their new ideas and concepts their new flavors or health foods but really there is no need why take an expensive risk just stick to what works in your new concession trailer.
I was one of the first concessionaires to start selling alligator meat which in turn ended being a full blown Cajun menu, my largest net profit menu to date in my new concession trailer.
I learnt many things as a concessionaire in my 14 years on the road getting this menu down to a science in my concession trailer. My menu at one point consisted of 16 items all homemade and fresh so to say and when I eventually cut it down to half the size I made the same money with half the work so I went the next step and narrowed it down to 5 menu items and guess what I made the same money. So the point being you do not need a large complicated menu. A simple menu with a couple of staple items works and that’s a fact. Another example. I used to make nearly my whole menu from scratch in my concession trailer fresh red and green peppers that took hours to slice and dice that looked and tasted great until I realized that by buying mixed peppers in a #10 can (10 IB commercial can) that was already prepared and gave me 10 lbs of usable product would save me about 2 hours in labor and with peppers being between $18 to $38 a case would bring my food cost down considerably meaning more Benjamin’s ($$$$) for Mr Browns lovely wife at the time. Another example. I used to spend hours sometimes days with 2-3 crews in the preparation of shrimp-on-a-stick. The defrosting process of several hundred pounds of frozen tiger shrimp 21-25 ct (which means 21 to 25 shrimp per pound) then with frozen hands to peel, devein, skewer and finally repackage and distribute among each crew to sell at the weekend in our concession trailers. I was then offered pre-packaged skewered shrimp 31-40 ct by a local purveyor which worked out to a $1.25 per stick. They where slightly smaller shrimp and not as high quality but I actually gained .45 cents profit per stick and selling them for a $1 less in my concession trailer. Duhhhhhh.
The same applies to many foods that are sold on your concession trailer. I am not telling you to sell pre-packaged frozen foods by any means but telling you to be wise, sensible and be efficient in your food cost that will only maximize your profits in your concession trailer.
Its all about the Benjamin’s, and you can take that to the bank.
