Here's How:
- Contact a local franchise owner. You might find one at the local Fleet-a-Pita convention.
- Pay $500 to enter the dynamic world of mobile pretzel retailing.
- Establish your territory wherever people are hungry.
- Watch the Pretzel Wagon video cassette by Frank Ormand.
- Set up your office in your basement or garage. A 'Hang in there, baby!' poster with a cute kitten provides motivation.
- Blanket your community with flyers. A phony ticker-tape parade will help you avoid littering laws.
- Open your bag of ingredients. Be sure to check for millipedes.
- Mix and bake your pretzels.
- Drive your wagon to populated areas to sell your pretzels. Try to avoid areas where the Fleet-a-Pita van is parked.
- When printing coupons, be sure the disclaimer 'Limit One Per Customer' is clearly displayed.
- When business is failing, contact a local mob boss for assistance.
Tips:
