Gourmet Truck Expo | South Florida Food Trucks
The food truck industry is here to stay! But, here are 5 things we bet you didn’t know!
1) There is a huge influx of food trucks entering the industry with the sole purpose of being a source of charity.
After hurricane Katrina, food trucks were deemed “invaluable” to many disaster relief locations.
2) Food trucks are as clean, if not cleaner, than restaurants.
In a recent report by the Institute for Justice that inspected 260,000 food trucks, food carts and restaurants and the food trucks had the least amount of violations by far!
3) The food truck marketing is now almost a Billion Dollar Industry!
In the United States alone revenue surpassed $800 Million this past year and is projected to reach 2.7 Billion by 2017.
4) Food trucks push the culinary experience to the limit.
As the overhead expenses are much cheaper than a traditional brick and mortar restaurant many food truck owners are experimenting with exciting new foods!
A local favorite includes Reindeer Sausage!
5) Carl’s Jr actually started as a mobile vendor in 1941!
