Old enough to drive and passionate about cooking? A mobile food truck micro business may just be for you! It was for 17-year-old Zach Ware. After watching a television show about mobile food trucks, Zach decided that he wanted to run a mobile food business in his native Illinois. He saved up some money and bought a truck, purchased used kitchen equipment from eBay, and even sold his car to oufit his business, which he has deemed The Crave Truck. After compiling a business plan and researching his area, Zach started his micro business in the surrounding area. What does he sell? Waffles! With the help of his mom, a former restaurant owner, Zach has crafted delicious waffles for his truck, with a variety of toppings. What does Zach plan to do with his earnings? Fund his college education. It looks like Zach is well on his way to micro business success!
