Mobile Vendor Parks

Mobile vendor parks, or locations dedicated to hosting food trucks and other types of mobile service providers, are a growing trend nationally. While researching this topic, we found examples from Florida to Alaska! We wanted to highlight a few locations that are slightly more established to give you an idea of what they offer.

Eco-Friendly Mobile Economy

Businesses in the mobile economy (food trucks, service vendors, etc.) have recently been going to a more eco-friendly attitude. That encompasses many things such as preventing food waste, sourcing food locally, and using different types of energy sources, such as solar power, to reduce your carbon emissions and your overall footprint in the environment. There are a few reasons why it's important to become more eco friendly with a mobile business.

National Volunteer Week

National Volunteer Week was established in 1974 by a Proclamation from President Richard Nixon and has since been bolstered and expanded upon by subsequent administrations. President George H. W. Bush famously declared volunteers “points of lights” by his formal recognition of their service to their neighbors. The week is an opportunity to recognize the key role that volunteerism plays in our nation, states, and communities.

National Burrito Day

Today is National Burrito Day! Did you know that the word “burrito” actually means “little donkey”? The name for the food came from the packs and bedrolls donkeys once carried. A burrito looks like a bed roll. As one of the most popular ethnically-inspired foods, there’s a lot to celebrate about this flavorful little food roll.

National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day

On Monday (3/29) we celebrated National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day. What could be a more fitting day for MOBLZ to celebrate than a day that recognizes small “mom and pop” companies such as food trucks and other mobile businesses?

National Cheesesteak Day

National Cheesesteak day pays homage to the timeless sandwich classic: the cheesesteak. Believed to have originated in Philadelphia, PA in the 1930s, this simple, but delicious cooked sandwich is a food icon. Awesome food doesn’t have to be fancy! So how can we celebrate this day and possibly use it to our advantage?
