Been thinking of buying a coffee hut or similar and converting to a food shack for a while now. But always priced just high enough I could turn away and keep looking till now. I just became the owner of a 10' x 20' food shack. It used to be a Taco Stand but will become a BBQ stand. It needs alot of TLC but the bones are good and equipment is all working :) Got the Shack dug out of snow, it new location dug out and leveled, Now just need to move it. Thought I would start a thread on my Journey.

Did you say you have to move it? How many weeks a year can you operate there? I am so envious. Sold a few of my ventures, but BBQ, Heat, and a loyal small group of patrons, spells a winning combo to me! Best of luck and keep posting....Like you have nothing else to do right now!:p

Yes I have to move it, got plywood over windows and the 2x6's on the back and side in an X pattern to make it more ridged. Waiting on the tow company to come grab it on a rollback and then set. The original Taco Paco ran year round, I have smoked every weekend year round so planing on year round :) As long as I'm covering cost I will be open.
