We're Featuring Food Trucks

MOBLZ works with many different kinds of food trucks all throughout the Raleigh-Durham area. This week, we’re diving into what makes up some of these food trucks work, introducing our Featured Food Trucks highlight for our Food Truck Directory in our blog.

Food4Heroes by MOBLZ

MOBLZ is delighted to announce a new charity partner and wonderful new initiative just in time for #GivingTuesday. Food4Heroes plans to help reward thousands of front-line healthcare and first responders with fresh, hot food truck meals.

Women’s Entrepreneurship Day

Spotlight on Women-Owned Businesses. We wanted to take a few minutes to recognize some of our local female-owned mobile vendors. Please make a point to support your locally-owned women’s businesses this Friday to support female entrepreneurism.

Spotlight on Veteran-owned Businesses

In recognition of Veterans Day, MOBLZ would like to take this opportunity to spotlight some local Veteran-owned mobile businesses in our area. Seek out a Veteran-owned business in your area by searching online for something like “veteran owned food truck (your city)” or using VeteranOwnedBusiness.com, and support them tomorrow. Make sure you wish them a happy Veterans Day and thank them for the great service they provided to our country!

Rise of the Delivery Apps

The mobile app space saw huge growth over the last year because of COVID-19-related lock-downs and people often having to quarantine. Now that most lockdowns are lifted, the habits picked up during the pandemic have been sticking around. According to Apple, smartphone apps for grocery, food delivery, and fitness are the fastest growing categories of the past six months, even outpacing news and dating apps, which traditionally have large amounts of downloads. In this week’s article, we’ll explore some of the apps that are being used in this category.

Support AAPI Food Trucks

This week we focus on Asian American and Pacific Island food trucks. Check out some these trucks that offer Japanese, Korean, and Filipino foods.

National Burrito Day

Today is National Burrito Day! Did you know that the word “burrito” actually means “little donkey”? The name for the food came from the packs and bedrolls donkeys once carried. A burrito looks like a bed roll. As one of the most popular ethnically-inspired foods, there’s a lot to celebrate about this flavorful little food roll.

National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day

On Monday (3/29) we celebrated National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day. What could be a more fitting day for MOBLZ to celebrate than a day that recognizes small “mom and pop” companies such as food trucks and other mobile businesses?

National Cheesesteak Day

National Cheesesteak day pays homage to the timeless sandwich classic: the cheesesteak. Believed to have originated in Philadelphia, PA in the 1930s, this simple, but delicious cooked sandwich is a food icon. Awesome food doesn’t have to be fancy! So how can we celebrate this day and possibly use it to our advantage?
