The day before Valentine’s Day, dozens of eye-catching trucks and cars parked up and down MacDonald Avenue near DeJean Middle School as part of a heartfelt effort to give love to a local small business.
On Saturday, Feb., 13, Algoleve Bay Area Truck Club partnered with Team Tumbados Truck Club to organize a promotion for Juanita’s Flower Shop at 3407 Macdonald Ave., said Johnathan Ramirez, Richmond resident and president of the Algoleve Bay Area Truck Club.
“Our truck and car clubs like to encourage the community to support our businesses locally here in Richmond and the surrounding areas,” Ramirez said. “What we organized was the truck and car clubs from Richmond and around the Bay Area to become a flash mob and help buy things off the shelves at Juanita’s Flower Shop here in Richmond.”
