Ask any European street-food vendor what they wish they’d known before starting their business, and many will give the same answer:
"I should have chosen a customizable food trailer."
Why? Because the food industry changes fast. Tastes evolve. Markets shift. Cities introduce new regulations. Events require different setups. And your business — whether it's coffee, crepes, pizza, kebabs, hot dogs, vegan bowls, tapas, cocktails, or desserts — must be flexible enough to adapt.
That’s exactly why ZZKNOWN has become one of the most recognized food trailer manufacturers for European buyers looking for:
affordable models
fast production
custom layouts
CE/DOT/ISO certified builds
And yes — we even offer concession trailers for sale under 5000, something incredibly valuable for new entrepreneurs or budget-sensitive startups.
Meet Nikos and Clara. They live in Thessaloniki and dreamed of opening a Greek souvlaki food truck, but were stunned by how expensive trucks were in Europe. Quotes came in at € 35,000 to € 60,000.
Then they found a compact model from ZZKNOWN -- a stylish concession trailer under € 5000, fully CE certified, towable with their family car, and customizable inside.
They added:
a stainless steel workbench
a small griddle for pita bread
a fridge
a sink with plumbing
With just € 7,800 total (equipment included), they launched their small-but-powerful brand.
Today, they appear at local markets and seaside festivals, earning between € 600 and € 1,200 per day in peak season.
Small investment. Big potential.
Whether you're located in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, or Ireland, the demand for compact, modular, compliant food trailers has skyrocketed.
Here's why:
Instead of spending € 50,000+, many European entrepreneurs now start with trailers priced from € 4,500--€ 12,000.
A small concession trailer can operate in places a full truck never could.
You can reconfigure your trailer if your business idea evolves.
