Atlantic City’s summer dining scene is growing once again with the addition of food trucks operating at the Atlantic City Seawall in Gardner’s Basin and at Captain O’Donnell Memorial Park, bringing new food options and added energy to two of the city’s popular destinations outside of the Boardwalk district.
To celebrate the launch of the first summer season featuring food trucks at these key locations, Mayor Marty Small, Sr., members of the City of Atlantic City’s Economic Development team and others involved in this program were joined by participating food truck operators today at the Gardner’s Basin site for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The City of Atlantic City first began accepting applications last October for licensed and approved food trucks interested in operating at both locations. While the initial plan allowed for up to 16 trucks total, eight at each site, the city has since adjusted the number to ten total trucks, with five stationed at each location, to reduce congestion. As of the ribbon cutting, seven food trucks have already been approved. Although there is no cap on the number of food trucks eligible to receive licenses, once more than ten vendors are approved, the city will implement a rotation schedule to ensure fair access to operating opportunities.
Food trucks are permitted to operate daily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
