Portland Hungers for Its Food Carts
Duff on Hospitality Law Portland Hungers for its Food Carts By Joy Ellis on 9.28.12 | Posted in Food and Beverage At lunch time, Joy Ellis can be found at Addy’s Sandwich Bar, a food cart at the corner of SW 10th and Alder. Here, she brings us an update on the thriving food cart industry in Portland. Portland’s bustling food cart industry has come of age. With nearly 700 food carts actively dishing out some of Portland’s most creative and tasty cheap eats, the local food cart economy here is flourishing. Portland’s food cart industry has also helped build some thriving ancillary businesses, from food cart suppliers to sustainable to-go food containers to bicycle delivery services like Portland Pedal Power. Food carts are generally a flexible, low-risk business model. They give an aspiring entrepreneur the opportunity to incubate a business idea and gather a following before taking the financial leap to a bricks-and-mortar restaurant, and they provide an affordable investment for business owners who prefer to stay small and avoid the risks and costs inherent in a storefront restaurant. The City of Portland is generally supportive of food carts, which pepper urban surface parking lots and occupy vacant lots and other underutilized sites. Portland’s regulations are relatively friendly (unlike some other cities, like New Orleans – where a food truck can’t park in the French Quarter, sell seafood, stay in one place for longer than 30 minutes or be parked near a restaurant). The various permits and licenses required of a Portland food cart vendor depend upon the size of the cart, its mobility, and its location (on private property or a public sidewalk).

Spokane Mobile Food Industry Summary
WHITE PAPER Mobile Food Vendors City of Spokane Planning and Development Services Department BACKGROUND Mobile food vendors have been present and active participants in the Spokane food scene for many years. Spokane’s “Pig Out in the Park” is an annual celebration of the mobile food industry which has brought ethnic and traditional food and entertainment to Spokane for over 31 years. Spokane is also home to numerous traditional food truck operators who serve workers in industrial areas and construction sites and also to a handful of enterprising push cart operators offering their goods to passerby’s on downtown sidewalks. To date, Spokane’s experience with mobile food vendors has been fairly typical and un-noteworthy. Countywide, the Spokane Regional Health District issues an average of about 80 mobile food unit permits annually. Growing interest in these businesses locally and the phenomenal growth in other northwest cities, including Seattle and Portland, indicate these numbers may increase. In particular, Portland has by many accounts become the leader of innovation in the “food cart” industry as it has experienced a blossoming of the industry into a major cultural phenomenon fueled in part by the creative, entrepreneurial spirit of the City and the “great recession” which has spurred interest in food carts as a relatively low cost self- employment option. Other communities experiencing noticeable growth in their food cart industries have reacted with less enthusiasm as the food carts have created both regulatory issues and backlash from the brick and mortar restaurant owners and other small businesses who feel impacted by the mobile vendors.

Economic Empowerment Through a Food Cart Micro Leasing Program in Thailand
ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT THROUGH A FOOD CART MICRO LEASING PROGRAM IN THAILAND An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by _______________________________________ ______________________________________ Jamielee Brown Alicia Groth ________________________________________ _______________________________________ Erik Mendez Binyam Tsegaye Date: March 3, 2004 __________________________________________ Robert Krueger, Co-Advisor __________________________________________ Steve Pierson, Co-Advisor Executive Summary The towering high-rises of Bangkok’s contemporary skyline give a sense of the modernization that has occurred in Thailand over the past few decades. Bangkok aspires to reach the ranks of other modern cities; however, poverty is still prevalent down on the crowded streets. Despite the progress Bangkok has made, Thailand remains a developing country, reliant on small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) to support its economy. Scholars and policy makers alike have recognized the importance of SMEs in economic development of many developed and developing countries. Many developed countries host capital-intensive large corporations while industrializing economies have owed much of their success to SMEs (Abdullah & Beal, 2003). The importance of SMEs is evident. Fujimaki (1995) reports that roughly 70 percent of the whole labor market in urban Thailand is comprised of small-scale private enterprise workers. Still, too many people end their workday with the equivalent of three US dollars as their income. Recently the Thai government has officially recognized the role of SMEs in developing the nation’s economy (Sirisambhand, 1995). Although there is an enormous presence of food carts in Thailand, it is often difficult for entrepreneurs to start a business due to the troubles with accessing capital funds.
