Progressive Insurance has launched its second annual “Flo’s Fabulous Food Truck Contest” today, May 16th. The contest is geared towards people hoping to start a food truck business or new food truck business owners, entrants can submit to win $5,000 to help spruce up their vehicle.
Last year’s winner, Kim Baxter, owner of Orlando-based goodfood, used her prize money to make all the necessary updates to her truck, including a fire suppression system and fryer – allowing her to get her business “rolling.” These updates allowed her to almost double her profit margin.
Here’s how it works:
- Share a photo of your food truck or catering vehicle
- Tell us how you would spend the $5,000 to spruce up your vehicle
- Invite your friends, family and customers to vote for your entry.
Not a food truck owner? Vote daily for your favorite food truck to help determine who gets to drive away with the $5,000 prize.
