Does anyone know how much food trucks cost to buy and where one can get one? Has anyone had or heard of other people's experiences in this business?

There's a stationary food truck at the Alchemist in Westlands. You might be able to get some info there. As for the mobile ones, you would probably be the first in Nairobi.

I think its a good idea and you should pursue it. You're thinking of trucks like these?

I think you can probably corner areas like Upper Hill where there are many office buildings but few eateries. I remember I worked on Mombasa road in one of those buildings along the highway a while back. There was no food shop within the building, but an enterprising lady with a car would come everyday with cooked food to serve the people in the building.

She would park her car at the basement and would basically serve food from the boot. She probably had at least 50 customers on a bad day. She also likely didn't have to deal with kanjo having such a niche market that was out of the way.

I once toyed with the idea of bringing in a New York style hotdog stand, but didn't have the money at the time.

Mama Rocks burgers. They have a strategy of taking their truck to high class events. It works for them, they always have queues at events. There's also a tiny one at Koinange Street that is stationary. I also recall one being next to USIU but I've not been there in years.

Try Sheffields, Mombasa road near SGR
