"Barb, you've written a terrific book. The availability of this type of resource is long overdue in our business.

Information about the business should be available to all who are interested in throwing their hat into the ring and learning the craft. New entrants keep the business vibrant and ensure that the veterans stay on their toes.

I particularly liked your discussion of support vehicles, as supply concerns are often overlooked by beginners.

In addition, your use of many photographs really added to the quality of your book".

"Starting a Concession Business"

food booths at a fair

Yes, it is possible to earn thousands of dollars in a matter of days with an investment as low as $500. No, this is not a get rich quick scheme. If you've ever been to a fair or festival and seen the lines of hungry people waiting to buy food, common sense tells you operating a food booth is a viable way to make money. You've seen with your own eyes the relatively small investment, the low overhead costs, the high mark up, and the high volume of sales. What you can't see is how these businesses came to be.
Now you can!

"I've been studying this business for about a year and thought I knew alot....until I got your book. WELL DONE. I would make it mandatory reading for anyone interested in the food booth business." JC Troy, Atlanta GA
