Food Trucks are being embraced in most metropolitan cities, including Jacksonville, yet we in Atlantic Beach are stuck with archaic codes that restrict their operation. At this time, according to our codes, you can only operate a Food Truck if you already run a brick & mortar restaurant. We feel the city should embrace competition and increase options for the public, especially during this economic climate. We also view Food Trucks as a great stepping stone where entrepreneurs can begin their food business, and possibly add to the existing restaurant landscape down the road.
