A2: Food Vendors

Mark’s Carts, the outdoor food cart plaza at 211 W. Washington, is accepting applications for food cart vendors for the 2012 season, from April 1 through Oct. 31. To be considered in the first selection round, the deadline for submitting application materials is Feb. 15. An application form and license agreement can be downloaded from the Mark’s Carts website. A total of eight carts will be selected – the six carts operating at the end of the 2011 season are expected to return. According to a press release, “New carts will be selected based on the strength of their business plans and food concepts, plus how well their menus complement those of other carts.” [Source]
