]]> Comment on Food Trucks: Did the Dragon’s Get it Wrong? by trewq http://www.sklarwilton.com/resource-centre/food-trucks-did-the-dragons-get-it-wrong/#comment-276 trewq Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:23:00 +0000 http://www.sklarwilton.com/?p=2818#comment-276 People, trends are no basis for investing in a business. if several truck operations in major US cities are popular, it doesn't mean that they are profitable or that Caplansky can make it work in Toronto. There is simply no connection. Worse yet, the resto lost money even with an outstanding product and seemingly high revenue. They gave him the right advice by asking him to focus on his current business and making money there before expanding. Caplansky's prospects look good, so the prudent path is to bank some money and use that to grow. On the other hand, asking for a very high valuation for a money losing operation still generates publicity with little chance of actually getting a deal. Just sayin.
