Wood Fired Pizza Mobile Trailer Operation

Business Overview:

Tuscan Stone Pizza was formed in 2011 and purchased by the current owner in 2019. This unique concept fills the gap in the mobile truck foodservice craze that has consumed the Northwest. The concept combines a high quality applewood-fired Pizza with affordability, timely production, and convenience. According to Business Post, “Pizza is the world’s favorite fast-food with a staggering 3 billion pizza consumed each year”. Fast food, but not your typical fast food.

The custom 12’ X 18’ trailers can be operated at “fixed” locations or used as “mobile” operations for catering seasonal activities and special events. The trailers can be towed with any ¾ ton truck in much the same way as any travel trailer. In a fixed location the operation only requires three parking stalls, a 30-amp 220 electrical power source, and access to water, garbage, and restroom facilities. Rents on fixed location sites commonly range between $850 - $2,000 per month, which often includes many related monthly operating expenses such as power and garbage. Most fixed locations operate on short-term leases and even on a month-to-month basis; thereby proving ultimate flexibility with the ability to re-locate to superior retail site opportunities as they arise. The mobile concept greatly reduces the investment cost and adapts to a wide range of location types without the constraints of a conventional brick & mortar location. For the Landlords, these trailers are a welcome addition that offers an amenity for their customers, while also creating a new profit center from what is typically unused common area. Target fixed locations include gas stations, strip malls, large-box retailer park*/ing lots and any other common area that offers good visibility, ample parking, good access, and heavy traffic. A single trailer at a good fixed location can generate in excess of $350,000 per year. Most fixed locations are operated 7-days per week with 1-2 minimum wage employees staffing the business on each shift. Fixed locations generally operate on flexible short-term leases with startup costs averaging < $7,500 per location. Catering & special events can include a wide range of venues such as weddings, parties, sporting events, and more.

The menu features 10” & 14” pizzas in either American or Italian varieties on proprietary crust in regular or gluten-free options using an applewood heat source at 600 degrees. The 5’ X 7’ wood-fire oven can cook 5-6 pizzas at a time with each pie ready to eat within 4 minutes. The menu also offers pasta, cheese bread, desserts, and non-alcoholic beverages. The format used allows the customers to watch every stage of the preparation & cooking process from prepping the pies, to cooking the pies and delivering the final product directly to the waiting customers. Over the past couple of years, the business has also engaged third-party delivery services to provide off-site access to the menu offerings. The business currently uses a third-party commissary that is responsible for the preparation of the proprietary pizza dough, sourcing fresh ingredients, and coordinating the delivery of the product. The company puts their money into quality ingredients, not costly overhead.

Property Features and Assets:

The five turnkey trailers are all equipped with a POS system with remote access, pizza oven, 6’ prep-refer, signage, menus, and all necessary small wares. All five trailers are fully serviced and ready to be operated immediately. In addition to the equipment, the Seller will also be providing the menu & recipes, operating manuals, trade name and trademarks, website, post-sale training and transition assistance. The Seller has two “live” operating trailers in the Puget Sound area that have been primarily retained to “showcase” the concept and to provide training facilities post-sale. A buyer could consider either retaining these two operating stores at the current locations or relocating the trailers to new sites.
