Goldenites fighting to keep food trucks at GCB, Goosetown Station

Golden City Brewery, Goosetown Station, their food truck vendors and customers are asking City Council to allow them to keep food trucks in their locations.

A Change.org petition for GCB, which had 650 signatures as of June 26, describes how this hurts the brewery and the food trucks it works with. One food truck owner stated she’s lost signi cant revenue since food trucks were disallowed at GCB earlier this summer.

e business owners argue that food trucks are an important part of the experience, and disallowing them will diminish the culture they’ve built. It also creates an unfair system where other Golden businesses are allowed to have food trucks and use public right-of-way, but their businesses aren’t, Goosetown Station owner Cheryl Jordan argued.

For artists, there’s no better way to swing into summer than showcasing at Foothills Art Center’s annual ARTSWEEK GOLDEN.

However, city o cials explained that food trucks aren’t allowed in public right-of-way, especially in residential areas. Mobile vendors — food trucks included — are only allowed on private commercial properties, such as businesses’ parking lots and driveways.
