Mommy, Where Do Food Trucks Come From?

So you want to join the craze and own your very own food truck, but you don’t know where get one? Let us point you in the right direction.

Executive Auto SalonExecutive Auto Salon has been customizing cars for years, but with the growing trend in mobile vending, they’ve started creating and customizing food trucks as well. Not only can Executive Auto Salon build a food truck out of a blank/empty truck, they help in vehicle purchase, inspection, and maintenance. They can also help you update your existing truck or make repairs.

They can take that empty canvas of a truck and build a full kitchen, cabinets, counter tops, hot and cold water systems, generator, lighting, air conditioner and heater, outlets for accessories, refrigeration, shelves, fryers, grills, ovens, cook tops, steamers, coolers and ventilation. There is nothing they can’t build for you. Executive Auto Salon will also help you purchase an old postal truck if you don’t have a truck already.

Stop by and check them out at Park Towne Place, 2200 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy, in Philadelphia or at 5223 Torresdale Ave. (with the green Eagles bus on the roof). Visit their Web site for pictures and contact information.
