What's It Like to Run Your Own Food Truck?
Running Your Own Food Truck
Hi there!
My name is Crystal Bowles and I am an agent with MKB, REALTORS® as well as the owner of Bean Bliss Coffee Bar - a mobile coffee truck. I absolutely love what I do! Every day I meet new people in the community, whether it be at their workplace or a festival.
My Story
I had been in the corporate world for decades and I needed a change. I wanted to enjoy what I did again. I finally took a leap of faith and jumped off the corporate ladder and began my new adventure of owing my own coffee truck (well actually I moved into my husband's food truck)!
So together we are serving the great folks of the Roanoke Valley and surrounding areas. He serves his award winning barbecue ... Big Daddy's Bar-B-Que ... and I serve up great specialty coffees and refreshers. We wanted to use a local company and support a local business, so we use Red Rooster Coffee for our coffee beans. We take great pride in the ability to support another local business and the partnership has been amazing!
What We Do
I love coming up with new drinks whether it be coffees, refreshers or teas. We have all different choices to better serve everyone. I have a healthcare background so I understand the decaf and sugar free needs of the community so we offer those as well.
Our mobile truck has the ability to go just about anywhere. We visit many businesses for lunch and dinner (contact us if you'd like more information). We also make stops at events and festivals in southwest Virginia and can also cater private parties and get-togethers.
We also have a quick "on the go" option - just scan our QR code (see blow) to order online and we will have it ready for you when you need it!
Food Trucks in the Roanoke Valley
The food truck business is continuing to grow in the Roanoke Valley and surrounding areas. Businesses are looking to offer different options to their employees to bring a taste of the community to them. There are lots of varieties of food trucks and cuisines locally, and the selection continues to grow rapidly. Anything from BBQ, coffee, ice cream, ethic foods, doughnuts ... you name it ... it's out there.
If you're looking for a food truck for your next event, we do suggest listening to reviews on the Roanoke Food Truck Finder. Only dependable food trucks are a part of this page and are backed by the administration of the page. This way you can comfortably book a truck for an event and know that the operators are professional and reliable.
We are very appreciative of our community's support and look forward to continuing to serve them in the future!
