• A huge positive of running a van based business is your ability to move around the whole country since its on road its not like running a shop where you are stuck in one place.
• Another pro to running a van based franchise is you have the option to attend many popular gatherings from sometimes just a few hours drive and once you get their you are in your van so all you have to do is park and serve people and your ready to go. This is a great plus for anyone looking to run a mobile coffee shop franchise or a food van franchise.
