How much does it cost to build a food truck in Charlotte?
Most custom food trucks we build land between $50,000 and $120,000. Size, cooking equipment and power needs drive the price, and trailers usually cost less than trucks. Also budget for Mecklenburg County permitting, commissary fees and insurance. Financing is available.
Do you build both food trucks and trailers in Charlotte?
Yes, both. Trailers cost less and suit operators who already own a tow vehicle or park at one brewery for a long shift. Trucks set up faster and suit operators who hit several stops in a day.
How long does it take to build a food truck in Charlotte?
Most builds take 8 to 12 weeks in our shop, plus delivery time to Charlotte. Mecklenburg County plan review and inspections can add a few weeks, so it's smart to start your permit application while we build.
Are your food trucks Charlotte health-code compliant?
Yes. We build to North Carolina's mobile food unit construction rules and supply the drawings and equipment specs Mecklenburg County Environmental Health asks for. You'll still need your own permit, a commissary agreement and a certified food protection manager.
Can I customize my food truck design?
Completely. You choose the layout, equipment, finishes and exterior design, and we'll tell you plainly if something is likely to cause trouble at inspection or during service.
Do you offer warranties on Charlotte food trucks?
Yes. Every build includes a 1-year limited workmanship warranty, and trailers also carry a 3-year structural warranty.
Do you only serve Charlotte, or surrounding areas too?
We primarily serve Charlotte food truck entrepreneurs, but also build and deliver to nearby areas like Concord, Gastonia, Rock Hill, and the wider Charlotte metro area.
