What do you do when a global pandemic rocks your business, causing shutdowns and limiting the number of customers you can serve? You hit the road.
Minneapolis mobile business manufacturer Chameleon Concessions has been building food trucks, concession trailers, and custom mobile enterprises for more than three decades. In the past year, at a time when profits plummeted for many businesses, Chameleon Concessions experienced a 20 percent increase in billable income compared to 2019, says owner Mark Palm.
“People are finding that they can make their businesses much more Covid-friendly this way,” Palm says. He and his team are thrilled to help businesses find a new way of operating that fits with the times, he adds.
