Century To Reschedule Workshop, Will Discuss Regulating Food Trucks
March 11, 2019
The Town of Century has canceled a public workshop that was set for March 18 to discuss food trucks. The meeting will be rescheduled.
Workshop topics will include permit requirements, restrictions and the use of water and sewer. Town Planner Debbie Nickles said the Century Land Development Code (LDC) needs to be amended to allow food truck operation, and fees should be discussed.
When a “permanent food truck” was installed late last year behind Odom’s Bar in Century, town official discovered that food trucks were not directly addressed in the LDC. Odom’s agreed to comply with town direction and obtain separate water and sewer taps for the food business.
While there are no traditional mobile food trucks currently operating in Century, Nickles and town council members noted that food trucks often set up at special events in town, such as the Fourth of July fireworks show.

No way this structure even comes close to Webster’s Dictionary definition of a food truck. No wheels, no axles, and probably never had any, and it is not mobile.
food truck noun
Definition of food truck
: a large wheeled vehicle from which food is sold that typically contains cooking facilities where the food is prepared
HOW is that even considered as a food truck? I mean… its stationary.
Back in Alpharetta, GA we had ‘food truck fridays.’ ACTUAL TRUCKS would drive up and park in a designated area and people would be able to come and order food.
This is a attempt at deflecting all the crooked things brought out by the Grand Jury…
You can’t distract all that mess in Century by talking about a food truck..or fining people because leaves fall off trees or some other obtuse scam
Odom’s “permanent” food truck appears to be set-up like a building and should meet the codes prescribed for permanent structures. It is not readily movable like a food trailer or van.
“food trucks often set up at special events in town” So then, if Century were to balance their budget and the gas dept turn a profit, there should be lots of food trucks, right?
Regulator; regulate thy self.
Don’t reinvent the wheel here. Just follow suit with the county. There are plenty of examples along highway 29 going through Molino and Cantonment especially around the paper mill.
To many regulations, permits and fees will keep a business out before they ever get in.
They need to worry about the Bills they owe and Not a food truck… Century is a joke…
How is this a food truck or ever was, I think if they would have just gotten a permit to attach to the building nothing about a water tap or anything else could have been required.
Regulate?
Everyone from here to Arkansas knows Century know zilch about regulation…the living proof…grand jury!
