Gourmet Food Truck Venue

[Sticky Davis]

If you haven't had an opportunity to experience a gourmet food truck - please stop by our Shawnee Trails Cowboy Day festival on Saturday 10/27 (right after the Gary Burns fun run).

The event charge on the below link $5 only applies if you're riding the stagecoach, entering the petting zoo, riding the ponies, face painting, etc. or going inside the museum or other buildings on the property. A real bargain - come support our Heritage museum. All other activities like watching the gun fights and other musical entertainment is free. (separate vendor fees for photos or purchasing items from the food trucks, of course.)

I love this idea! I have been telling DH for a year now that we need a food truck location here in Frisco. GO for it and see how it does. Everything is a risk but sometimes those risks change a town. good luck!!

Although it is a trendy idea it takes revenue away from local business that have invested in the community by locating in a brick and mortar building. Plus the profits provide local jobs and tax dollars of the brick and mortar restaurants directly impact the community. Whereas Food trucks do business locally taking profits away from local businesses then don’t put anything back into the community. Not to mention that since food truck are so new and trendy those who don’t have an established route are newbie’s and their food might not be that good.

It's called the American dream. I don't see a problem with competition, in fact I think it is great. If you are a great restaurant, with great food, and great service then you'll survive. If you're not then you won't.

The Celina Balloon Festival has a few food spots left. Food trucks would be an awesome fit! If you have contacts, could you pm them to me?

Thank you all for the comments. We really want to make this an awesome place and something that is unique to Frisco. I will keep updating as we make it through the process with the city and get a spot picked. Thanks again!
