Format & footprint
- Each unit is a trailer rather than a leased storefront, so there is no retail build-out. Plan for towing, storage, and local mobile-vending permits, and confirm which items the franchise package includes.
- The franchisor lists weddings, corporate events, and community events as core bookings, and says multi-unit ownership is available.
- Territories are priced by population. Public materials cite the base fee for territories of up to about 100,000 people, with larger territories costing more.
- The royalty, brand fund, and tech fees are flat monthly amounts per unit rather than a percentage of sales. The franchisor also mentions six months of marketing support at launch.
