Food Trucks Proving They Are Not Just a Fad

Food trucks continue to become an increasingly popular trend for both chain and independent restaurants. Industry experts note that many businesses are to the point of launching their third or fourth vehicle, suggesting that the food truck industry is way past the idea of being a fad.

Some of the notable advantages to operating a food truck include their appeal to social-network-savvy consumers, they can serve as a test outlet for brick-and-mortar restaurants and they serve as a moving billboard for the brand.

If you are interested in venturing in to the industry of food trucks, experts state that most food trucks can be purchased for around $100,000, or leased from between $3,000 to $4,000 per month. The average cost for wrapping a truck in a brand image alone can run from $24,000 to $75,000. However choosing to purchase a remodeled used truck can be a money saver.
