Here’s my biz idea for the summer

I was at a wedding in Hudson, NY earlier this month. Hudson is a beautiful villgae upstate in the Hudson Valley. My brother Chris got us all a beautiful lake house which was fantastic, but I digress.

I’m here to talk about a business idea. I keep seeing pop-up vidoes online about how to make money and different businesses to start – most are online digital things, but in this case, I have a business on wheels idea, which is perfect for upstate New York – it’s a Mister Softee truck! That’ s me above with my melted Mister Softee in NYC earlier this month, I did a story on the 10 With Tom shirt here.

You see, at the wedding, there was a big ice cream table where you made your own ice cream sundaes, and I joked with the lady behind the counter that I would like a large pile of ice cream, “sort of like Mister Softee.” The lady frowned and said they didn’t have Mister Softee in upstate New York.

I was surprised since it’s all over the New York City and New Jersey area, including Long Island, and I know there are many Mister Softee trucks in New England, which is just a stone’s throw from Upstate New York. And I’ve heard they are in 18 states, even parts of Florida.

So the thing is, if you are looking to start a business and have the franchise fees – Mister Softee is it – in Upstate New York! Mind you, it’s a summer and spring biz, so the rest of the year you can be shoveling snow or something as a business but perhaps you can sell Mister Softee in the summer months, which is sorely needed.
