I could sell smoothies, healthy pizza, and hipster foods down in the ocean front. The stacks I'd rake in :ohlawd: Also, I know I'd need a permit and food trucks cost like 2k-4k.


It's also extra income. Been thinking about doing it once my bank account looks about right. I wouldn't have to depend on cacs and it would be Black Business 101 :manny:

I'm going to look more into it. Also, I could vendor at fairs and etc on the side.
What part of VA do you live in?

My first cousin is a sheriff and she has a food truck. So, I can use time management and while working I can have my own side hustle. Also, I could vendor at Latino and African festivals.

I'm saying you like to be talking that black empowerment stuff but here you are doing this...


Edit: I ain't got no beef with you and even think youre a descent poster. Just saying.

This kid obviously wants to do something productive with his life and even be his own boss. We should encourage this type of behavior

Go for it breh, id like to do the same for real, but more like catering or event vendor. Research your states cottage food laws. Where I'm at, for catering you either have to have a store or rent usage of a qualifying kitchen. Very few foodstuffs you can make out of your home for sale, well legally anyway :sas2:
So I'm still dreaming/saving..

But the bolded, I have a hard time believing that, seems much too cheap.

I'm gonna stop posting all together sooner or later. Last time I stayed away for 6 months. There's money to be made now and I have an idea plus others. I'm like a Black genius.

th


The fact you honestly haven't mapped out this out shows that statement is not only not true, its so far out the ball park its laughably retarded.

You need a vehicle with a pizza oven, a fridge to store the fruits and dairy and the additional ingredients. YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO COOK. And I mean really cook...........not to mention you need to get the vehicle, the permit, and more importantly you need to find a spot you can post up where there is no competition. ..........I'm not saying its not possible, but this sounds like some shyt you just thought about. You have people who have been trying for years to get a food truck up and running. And you here like I just came up with this idea last night.......#blackexcellence........I'm a genuis......:russ:

Portsmouth. It's by Norfolk, Hampton, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake.
Im familiar with the area. I live in Virginia Beach.
I asked because I saw you mention selling down at the ocean front.
Selling at the virginia beach ocean front is never going to happen. They won't allow food trucks at all and if you want to own a restaurant on the ocean front you're going need a ridiculous amount of cash and strong political connects.
Now in the areas outside of Virginia Beach you definitely have the potential to be successful.
My uncle bought a hotdog stand for cheap in New York.
He brought it down here and sells hotdogs in Norfolk primarily.
At first I didn't take it seriously but he actually does very well for himself. He makes enough to pay his mortgage and keep his family taken care of.
I don't know how you are as far as people skills, but if you plan on selling food on the street you have to have the right energy for it.
It's hard work but being an independent business owner, no matter how small, is definitely something to be proud of.
Sleep on it, and if it's still in your heart, go for it. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
