Heavy Kettle Pop

If you’re planning on watching the firework show out in Marana at the Start Spangled Spectacular, come stop by and grab a fresh bag of kettle corn. We have multiple flavors and will be here until 10pm. Portions of all proceeds goes directly to help someone facing homelessness. Happy Fourth of July.

Here's a little shout-out from our local news station. Please keep us in mind for any upcoming events. A bonus, portions of every bag go directly to individuals suffering homelessness, drug addictions or justice involvement.

Using kettle corn as a catalyst for opportunity Heavy Kettle works to help those formerly incarcerated rejoin society.

We had fun today for career day at the elementary school. Jessica was able to turn this process into a fun, hands on science project. She reads them a book, then I explain step by step how the delicious treat is made. Finally, everyone gets a small bag and a tour of the trailer.

We’ll be popping fresh kettle corn this Sunday from 10-5pm at 4th Ave and 7th street. Come try one of our many flavors and support residents at The HOWE Project. Portions of all proceeds goes towards their housing fees.

Get ready for the Made in Tucson Market this weekend! This spring's Made in Tucson Market will include more than 300 vendor booths, a variety of food trucks and live entertainment from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 7.

If you’re at the Fourth Avenue Street Fair today and looking for some fresh popped kettle corn, stop by our trailer and we’ll take a dollar to two off depending the size bag you get.

We just got our packets and will be getting ready for the next few days. How to see you guys there.

As a food truck owner, I would like to share some insight to potential event organizers:

1. The average food truck cost $40-60K to purchase, along with insurance, taxes, supplies and branding. Let alone the tow vehicle.
2. When you ask for food trucks to come to an event, please keep in mind; the average of only 20% of your attendees will purchases something. 1000 attendees=200 people buying. To BREAK EVEN at an event food trucks need to sell at least 40 of their average products.
3. If your event is 8 hours and you only expect 1000 people, please don't ask for 7 food trucks. Yes, variety is great, but everyone loses money that way. Maybe have 1 snack truck, 1 dessert and one full food. Most of us know how many items we can send through the window in an hour, ask us.
4. Try not to duplicate food trucks, you don't need 4 snow cones or 3 BBQ trucks. It's OK to tell people no, we already have that type of food. We would rather know that, then show up and there are 4 people selling the same menu.
5. Your event may only be 4 hours, but we have an hour prep prior and after, just to get the trailer ready to haul. Plus food purchasing and food prep. Our time is money.
6. Truck's and trailers need room to park. Your spot is 10x20? How about allowing us room to back in, ask what side the serving windows are on, what side our doors are on. We CAN NOT park tongue to tongue in a trailer! For safety sake, we have to be able to open our egress doors! If we have generators, we need a place to put those also. Communication is key!
7. Many municipalities have a business licenses that we have to purchase in addition to your vendor fees, plus taxes we must pay based on municipality rules. Please keep that in mind, most of us only work in certain areas due to that.
8. Fuel is getting expensive again, same with tires, oil etc. We can't roll for an employee appreciation event that does not have a guaranteed minimum. And when we ask for that, don't get upset. This is our business, we need to make money.

When you are asking for food trucks please list: Date, Time, Attendees, How many years event had been happening, Address of event, Contact person, Fees, Power availability, number of food truck spaces.

Thank you and have a great day!
