Food Truck Drive Thru giving local food trucks a chance at operating this year. Local support has been overwhelming!
Last weekend 4 food trucks tested their operations in a drive thru format to see if there was a chance for them to operate this year with the restrictions set out by the government. Much like other businesses, the food truck vendors were overwhelmed with how they were going to operate their seasonal business or face the potential loss of their business for good.
After seeing the event held in Calgary, some local vendors got together to try out the format and bring new hope to a potentially dismal summer. “We thought we might lose our business this year, but it looks like our fellow Red Deerians have our back!” said John Moore from The Hungry Beast. Over 100 cars were through the drive thru within the first hour on Saturday and local community support continued to Mother’s Day.
All vendors and their staff must ensure they follow guidelines set out by Alberta Health, including all customers staying in their cars and no parking permitted on site. While this format doesn’t allow for the usual summertime feeling of street vendors, music and community events, it is a great safe activity to provide customers with their food favorites and experience a bit of social interaction outside of the house.
“Customers are able to support local small businesses and get quality homemade food within the convenience of their own cars. We look forward to next weekend and making this a regular occurrence” says Nicole Pugh, The Streatery.
Another event is scheduled for this May long weekend in hopes of supporting more business for the vendors and giving local community members something safe and fun to do. Additional information regarding vendors, menus, and event details can be found on the Facebook page: Food Truck Drive Thru RD
