Answer 1

I'm not sure where you are located but I found a couple of websites that may be able to help you out with your search.

One is http://www.hotdogprofits.com/financing.h...

Another is http://www.thehotdogcart.com/  . This one has a layaway plan, no money down, and even has options for other carts of you are considering something other than the hot dog industry. Their prices for a hot dog stand seem to range from $2095 to $8900 depending on what you want.

This website http://www.americandreamhotdogcarts.com/  gives you information on their products, the industry, has a quick reference FAQ section, and has customer support.

Another helpful link is http://www.uscarts.net/   they offer four different styles of carts and the most expensive one is $11,499, but that is an actual cart that you can stand inside of.

You may want to research exactly what different carts offer to decide exactly how much you need to invest to give your target marget what the are looking for. But don't forget to consider how much to cost for upkeep, sanitation, and maintenance on a cart. That will cut into your profits too.

I hope this will help you out. And good luck with your business!!!!
