Exploring Kelston Night Market
On Saturday afternoon, I visited the CBD Waterfront Market, which operates from 3 PM to 6 PM, making it more of an afternoon market than a traditional night market. The market itself was quite small, set on a street corner outside the Auckland Fish Market. With no residential areas nearby, most of the customers were tourists, creating a unique business environment.
Food and beverage stalls seemed to perform well, especially those offering something unique and eye-catching. Tourists are often drawn to novelty food experiences, making this type of market a great place to test creative food concepts. However, given its open-air setup and tourist-dependent customer base, seasonality is likely a significant factor.
From a food trailer business perspective, such a market highlights key considerations:
Mobility: A food trailer allows vendors to relocate based on tourist flow and seasonal demand.
Customization: Offering unique, visually appealing food tailored to tourist preferences can maximize sales.
Adaptability: A well-designed food trailer with the right layout and equipment can help businesses operate efficiently in high-traffic areas.
If you’re considering starting a mobile food business, selecting the right food trailer model and menu strategy is crucial. Whether it’s a compact trailer for quick service or a fully equipped kitchen on wheels, we provide custom solutions to help you succeed in any market environment.
