When most people think of starting a business in America, they imagine massive loans, long hours, and full-time commitment. But for Edisson, all it took was a $7,000 investment and a dream.
Operating part-time on weekends, Edisson now earns an average of $3,000 every weekend—selling sweet, sticky, crowd-pleasing treats from his food truck across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This is the story of how he turned a low-cost ZZKNOWN truck into a high-reward weekend hustle—and how you can do it, too.
Like many immigrant entrepreneurs, Edisson didn't have hundreds of thousands to spend on a traditional restaurant. But he had a concept—and a belief that good food, served with love, would sell.
He found ZZKNOWN through a friend, and within weeks, his first truck was delivered: clean, functional, and fully mobile. The cost? Just a little over $7,000.
"I didn't overthink it. I saw the ZZKNOWN listing, did the math, and realized—this is how I get started without risking everything."
— Edisson, Owner of Sweet & Sticky
Edisson didn't try to reinvent the wheel—he doubled down on what people crave: sweet, flavorful desserts with a creative twist. From caramelized fruit skewers to tropical sticky rice bowls, his food struck a nerve at events, street fairs, and church gatherings.
Armed with only an Instagram page — @sweetandstickynj.pa — and word-of-mouth buzz, his brand began growing quickly.
“I work just Fridays to Sundays, sometimes even less. Some weekends I pull in $3,000 or more—just me, my truck, and a good location.”
— Edisson
Unlike high-overhead businesses, food trucks allow entrepreneurs to grow lean and scale slowly. Edisson's low initial cost meant he had almost no debt—and everything he earned went back into the business or his pocket.
He didn't need a culinary degree or a big team. Just a solid truck, a few signature recipes, and the right mindset.
“The ZZKNOWN truck gave me everything I needed. No fancy add-ons, just reliable basics—grill, sink, power, and a clean space to cook.”
— Edisson
