A food truck oasis in deep South Philly?
We recently heard from a party looking to convert the industrial-zoned trapezoid lot at 2400 Weccacoe, right behind Ikea, into a multi-use food truck "depot."
A food truck oasis in deep South Philly?
Last Tuesday, UPenn allowed food trucks to set up on their property prior to the beginning of a Philadelphia Mobile Food Association meeting — a temporary but promising peek at a mutually beneficial relationship between food entrepreneurs and landholders. (The city's "restricted zones," which block carts/trucks from many potentially lucrative perches on city property, is a major point of discussion with the PMFA.) NoLibs' Garden Variety pioneered the idea of a private food-cart lot locally, and now more people are looking to jump into the game. For example: We recently heard from a party looking to convert the industrial-zoned trapezoid lot at 2400 Weccacoe (pictured), right behind Ikea, into a multi-use food truck "depot." The 2.5-acre space would feature a commissary kitchen, parking and an outdoor "garden/picnic area" where eaters can hang and grub. They're looking to lock in tenants for a June 1 launch; anyone vendor interested in hearing more should contact Kristen Muldoon at 215-351-9366.
