✨ WHERE SHOULD THE WEST INDIES SOUL FOOD TRUCK GO ON BLACK FRIDAY? WE NEED YOUR HELP! ✨
Black Friday is creeping up on us faster than those shoppers who run the moment the doors swing open. And this year, we want to roll Big Emanuel, our West Indies Soul Food Truck, right into the middle of the action.
But we’re not just picking a parking lot at random — we want the BEST location, with the BEST traffic, and the RIGHT person who can give us permission to be there.
So we’re turning to YOU — our loyal customers, our community, our smart shoppers.
📣 WHERE SHOULD WE PARK THE TRUCK? AND WHO DO WE CONTACT TO GET APPROVAL?
Most shopping centers won’t let food trucks just show up like surprise company. We have to talk to a property manager, landlord, or event coordinator to get the green light.
So when you suggest a location, please also tell us:
👉 Who do we need to speak to for approval?
👉 Property manager name?
👉 Store manager?
👉 Leasing office?
👉 City contact?
Tag them, mention them, drop their info — help us connect so we can get set up legally and on time.
🛒 THE BLACK FRIDAY MENU (SMALL BITES — BIG FLAVOR)
We’re keeping the menu tight for speed but full of that Caribbean soul:
🔥 Jerk Chicken Tacos
🔥 Pulled Pork Sandwiches
🔥 Jerk Chicken Sandwiches
🔥 Caribbean Beef Patties
🔥 Blue Mountain Coffee
🔥 Grab-and-Go snacks to fuel the long shopping lines
Nothing heavy — just pure flavor and pure energy for the hungry crowds.
⏰ WHAT TIME SHOULD WE SET UP? HELP US VOTE!
We’re debating between two time slots, and your voice matters:
Option 1 — 6 AM to 2 PM
Perfect for the early warriors who hit the stores before sunrise. Hot tacos + cold shoppers = a match made in heaven. This is Sharon’s preferred option.
Option 2 — 10 AM to 6 PM
Still plenty of shoppers, a little warmer, and easier on the staff.
Which time slot do YOU prefer?
Tell us in the comments.
Your vote helps us decide our final schedule.
💰 OUR BLACK FRIDAY GOAL
We’re aiming to bring in $3,000–$4,000 for the day — a strong end-of-year push and a chance to get Big Emanuel rolling before the deep cold hits.
We have the staff.
We have the menu.
We have the drive.
Now we just need the right spot — and the right connection — to make this happen.
