 The smell of burritos, pizzas, lumpias and empanadas wafted through the crowd. The Jack's Food Truck food court was in full swing. I met with owner Anthony Hasham to talk to him about the new culinary option for the lunch crowd. What inspired you to create this? Or was it your creation or someone else's? Yeah it was. This piece of property has been in my family for about 50 years. And a couple months ago the front part of the property is for sale. And I had just kind of seen this idea kind of grow in other food truck friendly cities. So I spent a lot of time in Austin, Texas, Portland, Oregon. And they have their kind of famous and well known for their food truck food courts in that one spot different trucks every day. And Jacksonville had nothing like that and obviously had access to the front building which made it extra unique and then we could offer temperature controlled indoor seating as well as you know food trucks different food trucks every day. So we're trying to park three to five food trucks daily for lunch Monday through Friday open from 11 to 2 p.m. And so basically you come here every single day of the week and not see the same food truck here twice. Rhonda Ryan owner of Bold City Pops is happy to have the food court join the neighborhood. It's been exciting to meet people and I have lived in this area for a long time and so it's nice to have this as an addition in this area. So what makes the food court a destination that people would want to come to other than just finding you know their favorite food truck where they're at? Sure yeah what kind of makes us unique is that we offer the selection obviously. So if there's a group of people that want to go eat they don't have to rely on one truck's menu. So a group of people can come here find different varieties everyone you know six people can come to lunch not everybody has to eat at the same truck then you can all go sit down together at the same table. So it's kind of a unique thing and also I'm offering the opportunity to do to have a business lunch at a food truck which has not been able you haven't been able to do that in Jacksonville you know we offer Wi-Fi inside so if you have to do a business meeting you got to sit down knock out you know some homework some paperwork you don't have to count out food trucks for that hour lunch break now you can include food trucks in your business lunch come sit down have a meeting and enjoy food truck food.
