Why Your Football Club Should Hire a Market Stall

With fans unable to attend football matches at the moment, it’s even more important to make the most of it when spectators return to the club they love.

The Covid-19 restrictions may have played havoc with all of our social plans over the last year, including getting that football fix, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start to plan for a future when all of this is behind us.

So why not think about hiring a market stall or becoming a market stall trader in order to welcome your supporters back with a bang when the turnstiles finally start turning once again?

Perfect for open-air events, where social distancing is much easier to adhere to, our market stalls and outdoor catering huts provide the perfect solution for just about any occasion.

Food Vendors

Part of the football experience that has become more and more popular over the years is the vast array of food on sale outside the ground before the game. Whether this is street market stalls just outside the ground or on-sight high-quality burger vans – market traders should always try to find their way into a football ground (for the club and your benefit).

Gone are the days of munching on a burned burger or a pitiful pie on the way to the game, with most clubs offering a wide variety of pre-match snacks and delicacies. Now, if someone is to run a market stall, the fans/parents of children are always grateful when there is tasty food on offer.

Two or three market stalls or gazebos on the approach to the ground can provide the perfect environment for fans to grab a bit to eat and mingle with their fellow fans ahead of kickoff – all within a safe distance of course. The local councils will typically be all for this, as it is helping out the local community, local football clubs and local businesses in every department.

And don’t forget, if you’re looking for a caterer, Big Kahuna Street Food pride itself on providing the very best street food using the highest quality products to cook fresh, simple and delicious food.

Merchandise Stalls

When fans are finally allowed back, they will no doubt want to visit the club souvenir shop to pick up those must-have items which they’ve not been able to get their hands on in recent months.

But with Covid-19 restrictions bound to be in place for some time, you might just need an extra bit of space to cater for the mad rush of eager supporters.

That’s where an easy-to-assemble market stall can give you an outdoor alternative that allows your supporters the chance to shop ‘til they drop or at least grab a memento of the big match they have waited so patiently to see.

Programmes Sellers

It’s a matchday tradition to buy a programme for the big game, but does anyone ever spare a thought for the poor sellers who have to stand out in all weather?

Often faced with wind, rain and just about anything else mother nature is prepared to throw at them, the programme seller is something of an unsung hero of the football experience.

And let’s face it, nobody wants a soggy programme – so how about considering a market stall where supporters can purchase their essential accessories from a safe, dry and warm environment?

Talk to Big Kahuna

If you’re thinking about becoming a market stall holder for your football club, whether that be indoor and outdoor (or just one or the other), but you’re unsure about how you do it or what the costs might involve, worry not.

Big Kahuna offer a number of pop-up gazebos and market stalls to buy in a range of sizes whatever your needs. Our wooden market stalls are of the highest quality.

What’s more, you can hire one for your event, meaning you don’t have the problem of year-round storage or regular maintenance –we can even deliver it and assemble it for you for a small fee. Gone is the worry of a recurring payment that has to be made – as hiring gives you a chance to use it only when you need it – rather than worrying about money coming out each month.

Yet, while we will offer you the greatest service, ensuring that your customer service is up to a high standard is extremely important for small businesses looking for more sales and customer retention. Not just that, but being nice to people should be a given anyway!

Here at Big Kahuna, we can talk you through any questions that you might have and guide you through all the options available.

If you are looking for the full Big Kahuna experience, we are also able to provide all our menus in a range of various stalls.
