Customer Purchase Overview
Michael Thompson, owner of a Texas dessert shop, contacted our sales team seeking a high-quality ice cream truck trailer. Michael had previously run a small brick-and-mortar ice cream shop for eight years. However, rising rent costs and a need for greater mobility prompted him to explore food trailer solutions. His goal was clear: find a durable, fully equipped ice cream trailer that could handle Texas summers while maintaining product quality. After comparing multiple suppliers, Michael chose our custom-built trailer based on our proven track record, transparent pricing, and adherence to stringent safety standards.
Within the trailer’s first month of operation, Michael reported faster revenue growth than his brick-and-mortar store, driven by increased mobility and participation at local events and festivals.
