Southern Fried Poutine | Application Preview
Southern Fried Poutine is seeking government grant funding to alleviate financial burdens and support business growth. The funds will help pay off personal debts, including home expenses and medical bills for the business partners.
The business aims to expand from more rural areas into larger markets, with aspirations to establish a presence in Nashville and potentially open additional locations or franchise once they achieve initial success.
The application emphasizes the couple's dedication to their dream of owning a restaurant, highlighting the challenges faced after an unexpected job loss prior to opening. This situation forced them to launch their food truck sooner than planned, creating financial strain as they navigated the difficult winter season.
Additionally, the current food truck lacks adequate heating and cooling, making it challenging to operate effectively, and the grant would facilitate necessary repairs and investments for both the business and their personal lives.
In terms of competition, the primary competitors include Mule Town Pizza and Loose Wheels Alley, among other food trucks. Southern Fried Poutine differentiates itself by offering a unique twist on a traditional Canadian dish, infusing it with Southern flavors that are not widely available in the state, giving them a competitive edge in the market.

Business Plan
Would like to expand and move from more rural areas to bigger areas. Would like to possibly expand into Nashville and local areas. Perhaps franchise or open another location once business takes off. We have a dream of owning a restaurant and chose to start in the food truck business. We sold off property and used the funds to push for the business to open. But my partner was laid off right before opening and we had to open early which put us in a financial strain to push and work through the winter months. Our trailer we do business from does not have working heat or air and being able to draw from the business would help to have repairs done and invest in the future for our business and personal life.
