Own business - selling popcorn

Restaurant and hotel business Street food

Fried corn is very popular not only among American fans of blockbusters, but also among the Russian population. Everyone is buying popcorn - both adults and children.

The easiest and cheapest way to start popcorn production is to work at home. You will only have to buy an inexpensive household appliance weighing 1.5-2 kg and costing 80 USD, a bag of grain, special additives and packaging (you can even simple plastic bags). Finished products can be taken to the nearest stalls.

The second way is to rent a place (2-3 sq.m) in a large grocery store, cafe, campus, or right on the street, in a passage, where there are many teenagers and youth. Here you place your device on a table or better, a special trolley. A trolley is not cheap - about 500 USD, but in return you get various devices for placing supplies and the ability to move to any convenient place.

Experts do not recommend buying domestic equipment for the production of popcorn, it is unreliable and often breaks. Imported cars are more expensive, but better and even equipped with a built-in hood, which will greatly facilitate the upcoming trip to the SES.
