Hot dogs are a simple food — requiring very little in the way of preparation, they’re modest in cost, and are as American as apple pie.
Here in Duluth Minnesota, there is a long-established hot dog vendor business selling under the name “The Original Coney Island.” The largest portion of their business is generated from the sale of coney dogs, dressed with coney sauce, mustard and onions.
Many years back, I often picked up “5 coney dogs with everything” for lunch at a cost of about $2.50. It was an economical meal that came guaranteed with heartburn to carry me through the rest of the day.
Today, I’m more likely to order just 2, but the tab will come to $3.50, indicating a healthy profit on a very small investment for the modern hot dog vendor.
Are you interested in getting in on these profits? Well, I’ve done some research and here are some of the questions that were on my mind.
Hopefully they’ll help you decide if becoming a hot dog vendor might be right for you (… and I’ve thrown in some tips to get you started).
