Portable Concession Stands Built for Harsh Canadian Weather
Durable, weatherproof, and insulated mobile food units custom-built in Atlantic Canada for year-round performance.
Concession Stands That Work Where You Work
Looking to take your food business on the road, pop up at local events, or serve customers at outdoor venues? At Sea Can Guys, we design and build portable concession stands that perform under pressure — whether it’s snow in Halifax, wind on Prince Edward Island, or a heatwave in Saint John.
Our custom shipping container-based concession units are built with Canadian weather, mobility, and compliance in mind. That means less worry, more customers, and a space that’s ready when you are.
Why Choose a Container-Based Concession Stand?
Traditional food trucks and trailers have their limits — cramped space, weak insulation, poor durability. Repurposed shipping containers, on the other hand, offer a rugged and customizable platform to build your vision on.
Whether you’re serving lobster rolls at a waterfront festival or launching a new food concept at a farmer’s market, our container concession stands provide:
Strong structural integrity (built from industrial-grade sea cans)
Weatherproof and rodent-proof construction
Full customization inside and out
Faster setup than building permanent structures
Flexible sizing to match your needs
And most importantly? They’re built in Atlantic Canada, by a team that understands what your business needs to thrive in this region — and beyond.
What Makes Sea Can Guys Different?
There are plenty of prefab vendors and resellers online. But here’s what sets Sea Can Guys apart:
We know your market — because we’re part of it. Our fabrication yards in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia allow us to build locally, deliver quickly, and support you before and after your build.
From dealing with unpredictable coastal weather to meeting regional bylaw standards, we’ve got you covered.
You don’t get a cookie-cutter trailer with us. Every build is tailored to your business model, menu, and brand. We can add:
- Commercial-grade kitchen fittings
- Drop-down service windows
- Branded exterior vinyl wraps
- Electrical + plumbing
- Storage compartments
- Interior finishes for style and sanitation
No two vendors are the same — your stand shouldn’t be either.
Many new business owners underestimate how strict (and expensive) compliance can be. We help you navigate provincial regulations from the beginning, so your unit is ready for inspection — and operation.
We work closely with vendors, event organizers, and municipalities across the Maritimes and beyond to ensure our builds pass health and safety requirements — with documentation to prove it.
Atlantic Canada brings rain, snow, heat, and everything in between. Our containers are:
- Insulated for winter use
- Ventilated for cooking and comfort
- Sealed tight against water and rodents
- Rated for long-term, outdoor performance
Whether you're serving hot chocolate in January or smoothies in July, your unit will hold up.
