Kettle Corn NYC
With a food truck, not only will we be able to provide kettle corn year round, but we will also be the first popcorn vendor in New York City that stirs the kettle corn by hand in an actual kettle in the truck, said Ken Nercessian, owner, Kettle Corn NYC.
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 01, 2014
Nercessian Kettle Corn NYC, LLC, known as Kettle Corn NYC, the leading kettle corn vendor in New York City, today announced that it has launched a crowd-funding campaign to raise $25,000 to build its first food truck. The funds will be used toward start-up costs: equipment, interior build-out, exterior design, insurance, supplies, and licensing. The public can access the campaign on Kickstarter at http://www.supportkettlecornnyc.com where it will be live for 30 days.
Since 2004, Kettle Corn NYC has been serving-up unique flavors of fresh hand-popped kettle corn that is actually stirred-by-hand in a giant kettle at street fairs throughout New York City on weekends, from April to November.
“With a food truck, not only will we be able to provide kettle corn all year round, but we will also be the first popcorn vendor in New York City that stirs kettle corn by-hand in an actual kettle in the truck,” said Ken Nercessian, owner and creator of Kettle Corn NYC. “New Yorkers love watching kettle corn being made and we can’t wait to provide that experience on wheels.”
In exchange for contributions, Kettle Corn NYC is offering several rewards, such as: a kettle corn making demonstration, a monthly membership, and VIP treatment that includes ‘rolling out the red carpet’ and a ‘line-cutting pass’ for free kettle corn. There is also a catered meal with celebrity of Hell’s Kitchen Season 8 and long-time friend, Chef Boris.
“We are super-excited to harness the power of our community through a successful crowd-funding platform like Kickstarter and we are so thankful for everyone who has supported us for so many years,” said Ken.
