Food trucks not just for millennials, Vermont retirement community says

August 16, 2018

Wake Robin, a continuing care retirement community in Shelburne, Vermont, is welcoming food trucks as the millennial trend of eating out while saving a few bucks has gone on to reach the older generations, according to a press release.

Throughout the summer, residents, staff, construction workers and prospective residents will have the chance to sit down to enjoy local Vermont foods and grow closer as a community. 

"What's special about Wake Robin is the focus we put on building a community," President and CEO Patrick McKee said in the press release. "Having food truck vendors come here throughout the summer and sharing a meal with residents affords us the opportunity to build meaningful relationships and connect on a personal level. That's always been a key part of our mission at Wake Robin and we're happy to continue it. Plus, how many food trucks do you see at retirement communities?"

Featuring local Vermont eats including Taco All Star Food Trucks and Shy Guy Gelato, Wake Robin is hosting just one more food truck stop this summer on Sept. 11 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
