A car dealership lot has been transformed into a food truck park in Long Beach, California. Priscilla Jaramillo, an organizer of the PCH Food Park said she got the idea when the owner of the empty lot offered a space for a food truck location, according to a report by CBS News.

"You kind of build up your audience, you build up your customer base in one spot and they know exactly where to find you," Anthony Plascentia, owner of Mariscos Los Corchos, one of the food trucks that came to the lot, said in the report.

Food trucks rotate in the park on a weekly basis. They need a Long Beach health permit to apply for a spot.
