What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Kitchen Solvers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee chooses to purchase a trailer, the cost is estimated to range from $6,000 to $8,000. This cost is part of the initial investment required to start the business. The FDD also notes that franchisees must use either a motor vehicle or enclosed trailer in their business, and if their existing vehicle is not suitable, they must purchase or lease a vehicle capable of pulling a trailer.
In addition to the cost of the trailer itself, franchisees must also wrap their motor vehicle or enclosed trailer with an approved branded vehicle wrap. The cost for this wrap is listed separately as "Vehicle and/or Trailer Wrap" and ranges from $1,000 to $2,500. The low end of this range covers wrapping one vehicle or trailer, while the high end covers wrapping both a motor vehicle and a trailer.
Therefore, a Kitchen Solvers franchisee should budget not only for the trailer itself but also for the mandatory vehicle wrap. The total cost for a trailer and its wrap could range from $7,000 to $10,500. It is important to note that these are just estimates, and actual costs may vary depending on the specific trailer purchased, the vendor used for the wrap, and local market conditions.
