Concession Operations and Service

The City of Mankato, Minnesota is seeking a concessionaire to manage and operate a concession stand at a government authority facility. The agency requires the selected vendor to run all food and beverage operations in strict compliance with local, state, and federal laws, ordinances, and governmental regulations. The operator must obtain and maintain all necessary permits, certifications, and inspections required for food and drink sales. The scope of work covers the complete day-to-day management of the concession stand, with hours of operation varying based on seasons, weather, scheduled activities, and business volume. The agency requires the concessionaire to provide all supplies, inventory, and materials needed to support the food and beverage operations at their own expense. The contract period will span three years. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency will allow the administrative and preparation aspects of the work to be performed offsite, though the physical concession operations must take place at the Mankato facility. The agency is looking for budget proposals within the submissions and will accept responses digitally via email or through their online portal.
