Concession trailers can be custom built to sell any type of product from food to trinkets to clothes. They come in all sizes and shapes and can reflect the owner’s style and personality. They can be found in almost any location from indoors at an airport to outdoors at athletic fields. The types of businesses run from a concession trailer can be as vast as the imaginations of the owners.
Finding an appropriate insurance policy to cover the business and the concession trailer can be a challenge. Thum Insurance Agency, LLC offers a specialized insurance policy to cover liability coverage for the business and property coverage for the trailers and product. Liability insurance is a very important type of insurance to have because it can keep the business from going under should there be a claim by someone who is damaged (hurt on business property, food poisoning, etc.) and is awarded compensation. In a society where lawsuits are frequent, this type of coverage can mean the difference between keeping a business running and closing shop.
This coverage is for concessionaires and vendors who work indoors, outdoors, seasonal lots or tents and flea markets. It also includes street vendors, hot dog carts, BBQ trailers, jewelry sales, T-shirts and other clothes sales. Each type of business that is run out of a concession trailer has its own specific risks. Formatting an insurance policy to fit the specific business is crucial.
There are many concession trailer manufacturers that are members of NATM. Offering a source for insurance for your customers is a value-added benefit that will keep them coming back to your shop. Value is not just in the trailer you have built for them, but in the advice and guidance you can provide. That extra will set you apart from your competitors.
