About this Event

One World Market is partnering with Bushnell Towers to host a Summer Food Truck Series designed exclusively for building tenants.


This is a private, curated event series that offers a reliable and predictable service environment—ideal for vendors looking for steady, low-risk bookings without the variability of large public festivals.


Each event is structured to provide:


  • A built-in audience of 45–50 tenants
  • A controlled environment with minimal competition (1 truck per date)
  • A consistent 4-hour service window during peak dinner time



Why This Opportunity Works:


  • 🏢 Tenant-focused audience with high purchase intent
  • 🍽️ Limited food options nearby → increased likelihood of sales
  • 🔁 Opportunity to build repeat customers across multiple dates
  • ⚙️ Simple setup and logistics compared to large-scale events



Event Features:


  • Private residential high-rise setting
  • Early evening service (post-work convenience)
  • Designed for ease, consistency, and repeat engagement



Vendor Structure:


  • 1 food truck per date (exclusive)
  • Vendor fee: $50 per event



Vendor Notes:


  • Ideal for vendors with efficient, quick-service menus
  • Strong opportunity to build relationships with repeat customers
  • Best suited for vendors looking for consistent midweek revenue vs. high-volume spikes



This series is less about volume surges and more about predictable, repeatable income in a controlled setting—a strong complement to larger festival-style bookings.
