Show Notes
Want to start a mobile coffee business without the overhead of a brick-and-mortar café?
Vlad Priadko didn't want to sign a lease, hire a staff, or take on the overhead of a coffee shop. He wanted the margins on coffee without the building.
So he built a coffee bike instead — an espresso setup mounted on an electric-assist cargo trike — and started riding it to the people.
Eight years later, Coffee Bike has sold more than 1 million cups of coffee and generated over $3 million in revenue.
Vlad has also built and sold 42 units to other entrepreneurs, and pitched the concept on Dragon's Den.
Tune in to Episode 754 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
how a mobile coffee business actually makes money
which events are the most profitable to serve
how to find your first paying customers
