Story Ideas
Unemployeds: In today’s difficult economy millions of people are out of work and struggling financially. Times are indeed tough. But, what if someone's resume reads: ex-convict, minimally skilled, poorly educated, or aging baby boomer? For these people, a job might be unattainable. If there ever was a good time for people to nourish their entrepreneur spirit, now is that time. For many people starting a food concession business is a viable solution to their unemployment problem.
Baby Boomers: The combination of healthy income potential and “on-my-own-terms” lifestyle flexibility makes this field an appealing draw for those either nearing or in retirement. Many of these individuals either want, or need to keep working to supplement their not-quite-adequate retirement portfolio or social security check. Others simply want a worthwhile way to keep active.
Families: The family that works together stays together. Well, at the very least, a business run by the sweat of the family likely spends a lot less on payroll. Kidding aside, kids coached early in a family business learn first hand the value of hard work, have an opportunity to pay for their education, learn how to conduct themselves in a business environment, and gain piles of self-confidence. By working together each member contributes to the larger good of the family. The concession business may be the perfect family business.
Students: The cost of a college degree is sky high. A student's financial burden is compounded by the difficulties of juggling class schedules with study time and working at a job. A concession business may appeal to students because, being seasonal, it fits nicely into a student's schedule. Financially, it is potentially much more lucrative than working for wages. And, it's fun!
Under-employed: Most people wish they could make more money. The problem is: how? Without quitting an existing job a concessionaire can spend his or her spare time on the weekends casually doing business at local events with a food booth. As the concession gig grows the regular job becomes less important. Sweet.
Home-based Biz: The home-based business movement is huge and growing by the day. For those who have the entrepreneur spirit but find no plausible way to make enough money to ever replace their wages, the food concession business may be the opportunity they seek.
Free Spirits: Life is too short to spend it at a job that is unrewarding and financially inadequate. And for some, life is too short to spend in constant worry that their wages or benefits will be diminished or revoked by a decision made by someone on the top floor of a corporation. For others, life is too short to spend kowtowing to the boss. For these and many more reasons, prospering at one's own business is truly the American dream.
Corporate Flight: As more people leave the ranks of the conventionally employed, many are seeking to recapture true quality of life, something that often comes with working for oneself. One can leverage past business experience, or shear ambition into an enterprise that doesn't ever require a report on the boss’s desk by Monday morning.
Fund Raisers: Countless non-profit organizations have an on-going need to raise the funds they need to finance their objectives. For many organizations money raised with a food booth at the annual local festival is the group's most important fund raiser of the year. It may also be the most profitable. Benefit to the group is compounded by the public exposure into increased public awareness and increased membership. top of page
