Exploring Mt Wellington Night Market – Food Trailer Business Insights

This week, I had the chance to visit the Mt Wellington Night Market, which had noticeably high foot traffic despite being a weekday. Like most Auckland night markets, it was set up in a semi-open parking lot, making it difficult for food trailers in New Zealand to enter. However, I found that many stall owners were highly interested in buying a food trailer, as night market spaces are limited, and securing a spot in a high-traffic market is increasingly competitive.

One of the most insightful conversations I had was with a Turkish kebab vendor, who was curious about transitioning from a market food stall to a mobile food trailer. I shared with him a real case study: multiple Turkish business owners in Australia have purchased six large kebab trailers from our factory, helping them start a food truck business and scale their operations effectively.

For those considering starting a food trailer business in New Zealand, key factors include food trailer size, gas vs. electric equipment, and local compliance requirements. If you’re looking for a custom food trailer in Auckland, we can help you find the best options tailored to your needs.
