Pulled the trigger and bought a food shack

Do you think you will run year-round? The GF and I were talking about it the other day and the topic came up of how many businesses (that are obviously not the typical seasonal business) don't run all year up there like they might down here.

Very inspiring, and darn it if I didn't just throw away a license plate this week before seeing your thread!

That is the plan, think it will depend on if I can keep enough customers thru the winter more then anything. I know I can keep the building warm and I've cooked at -50f so that's not an issue... just need the customers. So you may have to fly up a few time during the winter to help my numbers up :becky:

Um, yeah...about that....no promises. Hell, some airlines suspend their flights to Fairbanks in the winter. Pretty sure Frontier only flies there from like March to September.

Also, let me (us) know if you need any other decor. Being down here in BBQ country, there is plenty of crap that can be found that may not be as readily available up there.
 
My youngest two kids got to town Fri and already putting them to work! Today was the last day of painting... I hope!! What a difference a fresh coat of paint makes. Still waiting on my water tanks and the State to permit it. So much for there 30day lol

I'm very late in my discovery of this thread, but still wanted to send along my best wishes and support. For years I've dreamed of doing something like this and it always inspires and pleases me to see someone making it happen.

I only wish you were closer so I could be one of your first customers.

4 UDS for now, I have the 2 I'm been using for comps and catering and built 2 more. Working on getting a Pitmaker Vault so will have a ton off cooking space when that shows up. :mrgreen:
