Starting a Hot Dog Cart business is both fun and lucrative.

You pretty much need to be a "people person" to enjoy the benefits of this business.

Many vendors setup near or in places where there are large gatherings like fairs, carnivals, sporting events. But many find great places in and around business parks and construction sites.

You need to have a sense of urgency because most people are on the move when they pass by your stand.

Specialize with your cart. Design your own dog and give it a great name and some advertising. This will make customers stop by.

Come up with a theme for your business and market, market, market. Soon, your business will flourish and you can make a comfortable living. Don't forget to add ancillary products to your cart like pop and chips.
