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:
Buy a used restroom trailer (Craigslist, gov auctions, or dealers)
→ Expect $15K–$30K upfrontWrap it, make a website, and start calling:
Wedding planners
City event departments
Production companies
You can also use Google Ads or Thumbtack to get your first bookings
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!
