Avery Amstutz
- Mobile Coffee Trailer Owner
- $500,000+ first-year revenue
From a recent video on Avery Amstutz, 28, Memphis…
I bought an Airstream trailer for $6,000. Turned it into a coffee trailer and we made over $500,000 in the first year.
The business is called Byway Coffee Company. The tagline: “coffee worth chasing around town.”
We park all over the city. We are open 7 days a week. We can be at the park. We can be at your school. We can be in the neighborhood.
New menu every month. Signature drink is an ube vanilla cold foam latte.
Avery originally projected $150K for the whole year. The actual numbers blew past that 
- First few months: $11-18K/month
- Several months hit $30-50K/month
- Year one total: over $500K
Roughly $100-130K profit on that $500K revenue. And Avery’s buying 75,000 cups at a time to keep costs down 
The mobility is the whole brand – not a limitation. Customers track where the trailer will be each day.
No fixed rent, test new spots daily, and it doesn’t have to be coffee – smoothies, juice, açai bowls
