  • Nuts 4 Nuts is TRULY iconic. Used to pass one by the B. train subway on Church Ave. EVERY morning on my way to elementary school. I am now approaching 30 years old 🤣 I'm surprised but delighted to see the business is still going 👏🏾😁

You see the rush of the people and the desperation to get from one place to the other. And sometimes you just are there seeing them in quietness. You are in the eye of the storm."

  • I'll never forget the very first time I had Nuts4Nuts. Was 8 years old and the Flyers were playing the Rangers on Eric Lindros's birthday (queue the clutch HBD sign that got me on tv several times during the game! lol) and our train got into Penn early so me and my dad walked around a bit. I smelled the cart and no joke the smell alone hit me like a piano. Was so obsessed with them before the game that I obviously demanded we scooped some up for the ride back home after. Decades later and having worked in NYC for the last 12 years it's still a regular stop for me. So dang good!

  • With how operation is at their factory, they might have a hard time scaling even bigger. They only have two machine and that machine requires a body there to constantly stir and mix the nuts. A possible solution is welding some rods along the inside of that pot that'll stir the nuts as the nuts roll pass them. I've seen something similar at a velocity chinese stir fried noodle restaurant. Of course it goes without saying that they'll have to fine tune those rods to get the proper consistency that they need for the nuts. But to implement that would allow more machines to roasts the nuts simultaneously without having to have a body at each machine. Everything is done by hand e.g. sorting, packing, and even the logistics of fufilling orders. If they were to scale to be a national product, they would have to start streamlining the process and have to automate some of it. It's nice to hear that they've done a long way since they started. But they need a way to cut down on the bottle necking.

  • There are a load of variety of food carts in NYC with so many various ethnic foods and there they are, selling roasted nuts which is basically snacks. Usually people get tired of doing same things within 5 years. They kept on improving on for 30 years with the same passion every single day. This is old school entrepreneur mentality and a lost art.
