How Are Ice Cream Trucks Still Profitable?

Just saw one rolling through downtown BR, not a kid in sight, blaring the music. There can't be much profit left after the overhead, little as it may be.

Maybe the truck should try running when school's out

Selling drugs or abducted children is what I assumed they really did. Those things creeped me out big time and I never let my kids go near them.

Cash only operation, very little overhead other than fuel, buy in bulk. If you sell only 10 items per hour at $2 in margin per item, that's $16-17 in hourly earnings if accounting for overhead. Slightly better than Doordash on a good day.

My brother gets one every year for his kids birthday party. Idk what he pays but it’s whatever you want. I can say I look forward to that ice cream snickers every August.

That guy doesn't. He's always broke as shite. The routes makes no goddamn sense whatsoever.

I think it's more of a hobby/craft for old retired people or kids.
My daughter goes nuts when she hears their little chime.

My company has one come out everyday from June 1 - Sept 30. Our monthly bill is somewhere around 5k with them at that time.

pretty hefty markup on those. if you buy a box of 10 ice cream sammies for 4 bucks and sell em for 4 bucks a piece that shite adds up if you got the sales. i imagine the hardest part would be finding kids playing outside these days

That would probably do it LOL.
We have one in our neighborhood and it does a pretty good business. They young kid doing it probably doesn't need a lot of income...he looks like he probably is a high school kid...

The driver’s name is Jody. He profits in a different way than you are thinking.
