Donuts on Wheels: A Profitable Mobile Business

Imagine running a business that brings joy to every event—this franchise opportunity lets you do just that! This mobile donut franchise specializes in serving hot mini donuts, fresh lemonade, and coffee from custom-built, turn-key trailers. With high margins, minimal waste, and a simple operational model, this business is perfect for anyone looking to escape the corporate grind and create a flexible, fun, and profitable venture. 🍩 🚚

I've personally helped a biz dev specialist, Anthony W., launch one of these franchise locations on the side of his full-time job. He says:

"Business is great and I love the franchise. Someone that has more time and even wanted to do it full time really would do amazing. We are still making good money without getting to all of the events we want."
