Local food trucks with a broad range of cuisine are exploding in popularity, especially in the metro area.

As the industry grows, owners and operators have joined forces to form a new association and work together with a common voice.

Brad Gover is co-owner of Saucy Mouth and Communications Director of the newly formed Mobile Vendors Association of Newfoundland. He says part of their goal is to advocate for licenses and locations with towns, but it’s also to promote each other.

He says it’s still early days, but MVAN could help trucks advertise, for example, by having a map of where each truck is on a given day.
