The last thing anyone wants is to be stuck in traffic over the holiday weekend. These local entrepreneurs have reacted quickly to the evolving culture of convenience and are bringing their services straight to the customer. In general, mobile businesses have lower overhead than a brick-and-mortar store while also offering location flexibility. Not to mention these luxurious vehicles can spice up any driveway or backyard for a pop-up event. Whether you need to groom your brows or stretch your limbs, these businesses on wheels will give you extra time to enjoy your friends and family. All of the businesses highlighted in my Shop Local Column support meaningful charities and give back to their community.
