Congdon’s Food Truck Park Doubles in Size WELLS Congdon’s After Dark, New England’s first daily food truck park, will host twice as many food trucks this season and make several improvements to support the large crowds experienced in 2018. The park, which officially opens Memorial Day weekend, launched in 2017 with three food trucks in the parking lot of Congdon’s Doughnuts Family Restaurant & Bakery on Route One in Wells. The park expanded to 14 food trucks in 2018 and added a beer garden. It became an overnight sensation, attracting thousands from around New England.
The success led to an influx of applications from food trucks for the upcoming season, according to Congdon’s owner Gary Leech, who is looking forward to offering even more variety. “When we surveyed guests, the number one request – besides more seating and parking – was more food trucks,” said Leech. “We had a great variety last year, and we knew we could improve there. But we never knew how many different trucks were out there until the applications started pouring in.” The cuisines offered this season include crepes, barbeque, burgers, hot dogs, Greek, Brazilian, seafood, pizza, grilled
cheese, french fries, empanadas, Mexican, wraps, falafel, farm-to-table, steak and cheese subs, gluten-free, Asian, sushi, Caribbean, Southern/creole, ice cream, and, of course, doughnuts.
The park will continue to host 8-10 trucks each day, but Leech said there will be more of a rotation. “Each time you visit the See FOOD page 4...
