They Rent Fancy Porta-Potties for $3k/weekend

This is the definition of a boring business with insanely high margins.

I just found a company that rents out luxury portable restrooms for weddings, events, and corporate functions.

It’s called Royal Restrooms, and their entire business is built on fancy porta-potties.

💡 The Model:

  • Rent out upscale bathroom trailers for:

    • Weddings

    • Outdoor events

    • Disaster relief

    • Film productions

    • Corporate retreats

  • Units are decked out with:

    • AC, sinks, vanities, hardwood floors

    • Running water + real flushing toilets

    • Private stalls with full-length doors

This isn’t your construction site port-a-john.
This is “I can’t believe this is a portable toilet” level luxury.

💰 Why It Works:

  • Most events NEED this.
    Venues without restrooms = huge demand, zero tolerance for poor quality.

  • High-ticket rentals.
    One trailer can rent for $1,000–$5,000 per weekend.

  • Low churn, high repeat.
    Event planners, venues, and film crews often rent monthly or seasonally.

  • Easy to upsell.
    Add hand-washing stations, ADA-compliant units, attendants, etc.

📊 What This Can Make:

  • A single trailer for one weekend= $1,500 minimum avg rental

  • Book it out 3 weekends/month = $4,500

  • Own 10 units? That’s $45,000/month

  • Maintenance is low. You deliver, pick up, clean, repeat.

Royal Restrooms has franchises in 40+ states, and this space is growing fast.

🧠 How to Start:

  1. Buy a used restroom trailer (Craigslist, gov auctions, or dealers)
    → Expect $15K–$30K upfront

  2. Wrap it, make a website, and start calling:

    • Wedding planners

    • City event departments

    • Production companies

  3. You can also use Google Ads or Thumbtack to get your first bookings

  4. Add more units as demand grows

This is the definition of a boring business with high margins.

Nobody’s bragging about it on Instagram…
but some of these operators are clearing 6-figures+ per luxury trailer.

Have a great weekend. See you Tuesday!
