All business is good and its a nice variety! No worries What A Burger you have a completely different model. People who like the outside feel can go food truck.

Yay for free enterprise!

Oh, By the way, there are strict health codes for food trucks too and they are inspected often.

competition is always a good thing. if it was another burger joint or chicken place I would agree with the nay Sayers. perhaps the city can require them to get sales tax license with century’s address so that century could get some revenue from that. maybe it will be successful enough to motivate century residence to create their own food truck business.

Let’s see. Some of you are worried Sonny’s might cut into local business! Are you kidding me? Across America for the last 30 years Walmart has practically eliminated all local business. Bicycle shops, hardware stores, jewelry.stores, drug stores, meat markets, mom and pop stores of all kinds, and you’re worried about Sonny’s? I doubt Sonny’s will liquidate 800,000 manufacturing jobs at good wages by putting a truck in Century!

It can’t be worse than the current restaurants in town where you hardly get what you order. I can’t wait.

Let’s see what Mayor Freddie thinks if the food truck moves to his racetrack Saturday night and takes all his soda and hot dog money back to Pensacola with them.

Let’s see, Sonny’s is going to bring their employees along with their gypsy food truck. If they cut into local business volume enough, someone that works at BK or wat a burger gets sent home. They also will not provide restroom or adequate parking, so guess what, their customers and employees will be using the facilities of local business. They won’t be buying water or natural gas from Century like the local businesses do either. Having food trucks at special events is one thing, but letting them set up on the roadside could work to detract from local business.

@careful what you wish for
Its not based on lip smacking and belly rubs….

But on finger licking and Baby Back ribs.

I think it’s a great ideal….food trucks bring good things to community’s. Not only good food but it brings people together. When you at a drive thur you don’t get out your car you sit. This will get people up moving, talking and getting to know one another and what’s going on in your town. Then it might have you wanting to start your own business and putting more people to work. This has so much more positive things to offer then you can see right now. Just give it a chance.

BOCC Commish Douglas Underhill had great plans for a Food Truck Court near the NAS Mainside. He was going to invest Hundresds of Thousands of Taxpayer dollars in that boondoggle.
Thankfully someone on the BOCC had better sense than Underhill and the project is now stalled and hopeful its not ever going to happen.
Can’t keep the roadways cleaned and mowed but wanting to squander OUR Money on his pet projects,
Disgusting.
