I bought my first hot dog cart today Thu, 06/26/08 11:06 PM (permalink)
Well, WE bought our first hot dog cart today. We are offically......(insert drumroll here)----- "The Family Dawg" - This business will be built around a family theme from the logo's to the service. Our customers will be part of our "family".

We are very excited about this opportunity. We will start off doing small events until we are comfortable running the cart and figuring out the routine. I bought the cart, a Creative Mobile Systems 325 from 2 retired gentleman who took excellent care of it. It's soooooo pretty. And they gave me tons of stuff from signs to supplies to enough frozen dogs and sausages to get after it. First test is at our yard sale Saturday making dogs for our friends.

Here are some pics.



They also gave me 5-10 CDs and tapes to listen to for guidence and strategy. They also told me to call any time we had questions. Great guys, just like a lot of folks willing to help nooobs like me on this board.

We have a ways to go and a lot to learn but we will have fun, that's for sure.

Arnie

          It looks like somebody already stole your right hubcap.

              I have some gold spinners ordered to replace those aging hubcaps. They had a special , 2 for 1, and they'll throw in some gold chains and a gold "toof".

              Seriously, we are going to have so much fun. I can't wipe this grin off my face. It's stuck.

                That vette was sweet. Maybe one day I will be able to afford one!
