Money saving tips from Ehow

Great money saving tips.... The more you save the more you make...
  • Shop at wholesale distributors that provide you with hot dog cart supplies in bulk quantities. For example, buy a case of napkins and disposable forks, instead of individual small packages. You save money on hot dog cart supplies when you buy in bulk quantities.
  • Buy close to expiration date for hot dog cart supplies. Close to expiration date hot dog cart supplies are often reduced significantly in price. Just make certain to use up the items before they expire. Your hot dog cart customers expect fresh products.
  • Shop for sales on hot dog cart supplies. Use coupons that you can print on the Internet or cut from a local paper. Combining sales and coupons is a great way to save money and get hot dog cart supplies cheaply.
  • Get free supplies from local businesses near your hot dog cart stand. Trade off for a hot dog or two. What you can get in trade is often much more valuable than the cost of that hot dog. Or even throw in a free drink for them. They'll trade you and give you free hot dog cart supplies that you can use to make even more money.

DOMINICK's HOT DOG TRUCK

And they started with a hot dog cart.... Nice :)

"Woodhaven Blvd. at 65th or 67th Aves., Rego Park
You may be thinking, How is this hot dog truck different from all others? We'll tell you: Owner Angelina D'Angelo has been serving the classic New York frank on Woodhaven Blvd. for 51 years. Plus, the Queens truck's steamed, skinless Sabrett dog snaps when you bite into it and has a soft, meaty center. Dogs cost $2.75; you can add their spicy mustard free of charge or splurge for their homemade onions or freshly steamed sauerkraut. Dominick's dogs remind you why the only place you'll ever eat a hot dog is in New York. And from now on, maybe just Queens."

L.A. nightlife king Sam Nazarian now selling hot dogs

Everyone is selling hot dogs.....

"Apparently, hotels, nightclubs and restaurants are not fashionable enough to undergird developer Sam Nazarian’s SBE lifestyle brand, so he’s adding a new, unlikely element: hot dogs.
That’s right—among luxury linens, rooftop swimming pools and St.Tropez-style nightclubs, Nazarian is now purveyor of Papaya King hot dog carts. The 35-year-old developer has teamed with the New York-based company to launch a series of hot dog stands throughout Los Angeles, the first of which opened in the heart of Hollywood last week. No word yet on whether the Manhattan transplant will taste any good in L.A. and with long lines round the clock at the Hollywood institution Pink’s, Nazarian has a tough act to follow. According to at least one customer surveyed by the New York Times, Papaya’s sausages are just “average.”
