How We Can Support You.
Julie Ann’s proudly partners with schools and nonprofit organizations for events, fundraisers, and staff appreciation. We offer event-based discounts, flexible bulk options, and a smooth ordering process designed to keep everything fresh and stress-free.
Non-Profit Bulk Pricing Discount
We provide nonprofits with two discount options based on how the items will be used, either for fundraising sales or for staff and volunteer appreciation.
Freezer Rental Discounts
We can offer a rental discount for one of our holding freezers. You'll need to pickup and drop-off the freezers. Freezers cannot be turned on their side and must be transported upright.
Dine For Dollars
We have the ability to round-up at the shop for your organization. We can also setup a "Dine for Dollars" night where we provide a % of sales from your group.

How do I budget my event?

How do I budget my event? Do you price per person?
We make event budgeting simple by helping you think in per-person ranges, even though pricing is based on the setup, menu, and service style you choose.
Most events budget on a per-head basis, similar to catering. Your per-person cost will depend on:
- The type of service (truck, tent, freezer setup, multiple stations)
- The menu selection (Julie Bars, custard, dairy-free options, toppings)
- The number of guests
- The length of service
- Any delivery, staffing, or equipment needs
We offer options at different price points, so whether you’re planning a small appreciation event or a large-scale corporate gathering, we can recommend a setup that fits your budget.
If you already have a budget in mind, tell us. If you don’t, we’re happy to guide you with realistic per-person ranges and help you choose the best option for your crowd.

Can I rent the Vintage Custard Truck? How much is it?
Can I rent the Vintage Custard Truck? How much is it?
Our Custard Truck and Delivery Trucks are typically not available for standalone rental. They are part of a full-service event experience that includes our product, equipment, and trained staff.
Pricing depends on several factors, including:
- The type of truck or setup (food truck, freezer truck, tent, or stations)
- Guest count and service length
- Menu selection
- Staffing and logistics
Because every event is different, we don’t list a flat “truck rental” price. Instead, we’ll recommend the best setup for your event and budget, whether that includes a truck, tent, or freezer-based service.
If you’re looking for the visual impact of the truck or need high-volume service, let us know and we’ll build a package that fits.
How far can you drive the Vintage Custard Truck? How do you get it to far-off places?
How far can you drive the Vintage Custard Truck? How do you get it to far-off places?
Our 1953 International Metro Custard Truck can drive short distances on its own, but for longer trips it is transported by trailer. Because of this, events outside of roughly 10 miles may require towing. Any towing costs are passed through at cost, typically around $400, with no markup.
It’s an old truck, but a very cool one, and we take great care to get it to your event safely.
