What Franchisees Love About Our Coffee Truck Costs

“Look at those key competitive advantages: low inventory costs—I mean Tom’s is all beverages. You’re mobile—you’re not stuck and confined to one area where people have to come seek you out, you can go to them. And, not to mention, the royalties are pretty nice. When you don’t have to worry about keeping a percentage and paying that out each week, it’s just that fixed royalty. Make as much money as you want, and you just have to pay out that royalty.”
