HOW TO BUILD A FOOD MERCHANDISING
TOOL & SUPPLY KIT
THE TOP 20 ITEMS I RECOMMEND HAVING AROUND TO HELP YOU BUILD GREAT FOOD DISPLAYS.
STORAGE: It is important to determine a proper storage method before compiling a list of tools and supplies. I recommend using a fabric tool box or plastic tool box for small items. I've found myself on merchandising projecting having to carry tools at distance or having the struggle with power drills, hammers, etc. for long periods of time. In this case I suggest using a rolling suitcase. Unfortunately, you might look like a terrorist in the x-ray machine if you plan on flying anywhere, but since you're not it will help you lug everything around easily.

Depending on your business many other items as described below are useful to have on hand. As with anything, I recommend building your kit over time. Purchase more expensive or specialty items as you sense you will need them. Before long you will have developed a great resource for most any merchandising project.
