We're Thrilled to be part of Grand Rapids First Permanent Food Truck Lot!

GRAND RAPIDS — The owner of a pair of food truck courts in northern Michigan is proposing a similar concept at a long-vacant grocery store on Grand Rapids’ burgeoning West Side.

David Meikle, owner of The Back Lot food truck courts in Petoskey and Charlevoix, will go before the Grand Rapids City Planning Commission on Feb. 23 to seek special land use approval, including for the sale or consumption of alcohol, for a location at 648 Bridge St. NW and 345 Lexington Ave. NW. The location at the site of the former Duthler’s Family Foods grocery store would be his fourth; another is underway in Marquette.

The plans also call for an onsite restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor seating.
