Unlocking the Potential of the "Running on Faith Lot"
Crystal and Arley George, the visionary owners behind this project, have set their sights on transforming the existing site into a culinary oasis. The property, which currently houses a single building and a parking lot, will undergo a dramatic makeover to accommodate their ambitious plans. If the project receives the necessary approvals, the existing building will be redeveloped to house a coffee shop, while the parking lot will become the home to a collection of mobile food vendors.The food trucks, each occupying a 20-by-30-foot lot, will offer a diverse array of culinary experiences. From the sizzling flavors of hibachi to the comforting combinations of chicken and waffles, the "Running on Faith Lot" aims to cater to a wide range of palates. The owners have been in discussions with local food truck operators, ensuring that the selection will be unique and complementary, with no two offerings being the same.
While the focus will be on the food trucks, the project also includes plans for a drive-thru coffee shop, to be operated by the George family themselves. Dubbed "Bean Redeemed Coffee Shop," this addition promises to provide a convenient caffeine fix for the community, further enhancing the overall dining experience.
