 The business is taking in Washington's food truck industry as the government shutdown continues. We've definitely seen decreased sales in some areas that we frequent, probably between 20 and 30 percent decrease. According to the Washington Post, food truck sales in the district are down by 50 percent or more within a week of the shutdown. Boston University alum Brian Arnoff opened the CapMAC food truck in 2010. The golden menu item is mac and cheese served with a variety of ingredients. Arnoff says he's able to keep his business going by moving to different locations in D.C. Our customer base is a broad mix because we frequent a lot of different areas in D.C. So, you know, one day we'll be down at GW and we'll have all college students and another day we'll be over somewhere that's primarily government workers. So it really depends day to day. For the moment, Arnoff has a strategy to maintain sales during the shutdown. Right now we're just avoiding areas that are heavily populated by government workers and trying to frequent locations that are more private businesses, nonprofits, student-based. No matter what the economy may look like in upcoming weeks, CapMAC says it's determined to remain open. In Washington, this is Brittany Exum, VU News Service.
