The Leader
2020 yielded mixed results for food trucks, from varying degrees of success to a vastly cut down schedule. Some food trucks were able to capitalize on pandemic-related restaurant closures, while others struggled after events were canceled.
Sara Caldwell, owner of Global Taco food truck and Downtown Grind in Elmira, saw an increase in business at the beginning of 2020. Brick-and-mortar restaurants were forced to close, and food trucks offered an alternative for people who were concerned about dining at a traditional restaurant. The boom for the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic benefited Caldwell for a while.
“Once the brick & mortars reopened, we went back to our typical numbers,” Caldwell wrote in an email. “It was nice to have that boost to help offset opening expenses and I got about $3,000 of repairs done to the truck.”
