Hot Dog Profits Premium Member Bruce Morrison is rockin’ it in Tennessee. He just sent me an invite in response to my last newsletter. I’m thinking of taking a road trip sometime this fall and it would be cool to visit with some slingers along the way.

Hi Steve,
My wife and I run The Smokies Mighty Dog with our E-Z Built hot dog cart and have a blast doing so.
We’d like you to visit the Oldest City in TN., Jonesborough in East Tn. We’re close to the Smoky Mountians, so close you can see them from here. As you can see we were involved with the Relay for Life on the 20th of July but we are set up at an Ace Hardware and Farmers Co-Op.
This fall we will be working the Johnson City Boys and Girls Club – little kids, Flag Foot ball games. I estimate to do 3 games or more on a Saturday, about 200 possible customers at each game, can’t wait!!
I just came up with a new item today that I will start trying tomorrow, Lit’l Smokies BBQ Sausages, like a 4oz tray with about 6 pieces with BBQ sauce and maybe a sprinkle of shredded cheese, cost of goods = .71, sell at $2.00 a tray, customer will get 5-6 pcs. Total cost per package and all trimmings, $4.26, good profit of almost $8.00 per package. I will let you know how it does when you come to East Tennessee and see the Smokies in the fall and look at the beautiful foliage in the mountains.
See you then!!!

Hmmm…
Bruce presents a pretty tempting invitation. Here are the pictures he enclosed (see below). Notice the great job he did on his cart. He built it himself by following the 50 step by step videos included in his HDP Premium membership (you can join for free at the time of this writing). I’m super impressed with his results!!!
I still don’t know where I’ll end up so send me some pics and tell me about your business like Bruce did and maybe I’ll see you this fall.

Thanks Robert!
Bruce, you have a really nice looking cart, I really love your logo. If your dogs are as good your cart is good looking, your middle name will be “Success”
Blessings

Steve, All I can offer is just the humble I-70 drive over the Continental Divide through the modest “Rocky Mountains” over to the other side with the scenery that is near the actual locations of “True Grit” and hundreds of other Western Movies. Besides you might get attacked by a few tribes of Indians on the way wanting your Hot Dogs.” Take any advertisements off of your vehicle while driving through the mountains. Hahahahahaha!
Sounds like an adventure!
Steve, The Smokies are New England with a southern accent! I would never turn down an invitation to that place. BTW, Bruce, I think I have a couple of friends who live very near you, if not in the same town. I’ll ask next time I see them and see if you might know them if they do. Love your cart and logo! I just might be coming through this fall myself. We’ll look you up if our travels bring us through.
