North Carolina vegan food truck finds a permanent home
February 23, 2021
Romeo's Vegan Burger, a plant-based food truck in Charlotte, North Carolina, has found a permanent home on Central Avenue in a former Dairy Queen parking lot.
Foodies will likely be able to spot it quick given the long lines that started forming since it's opening day in mid-November, according to a Charlotte Observer report.
Co-owners Monty Faulkner and Lamont Heath are both vegans and started their business as vegan food options are limited in the area.
"It's a vision we had. Anytime we are out of town, we look for tasty vegan spots," Faulkner told the news outlet. "Sometimes it hits, sometimes it doesn't. When you go to a lot of cities, there are only a few spots and you seldom find places that fully cater to vegans. So we just want to be on the forefront of that in the city of Charlotte and make comfort food that anybody can enjoy, even if you aren't a vegan."
The response has been so strong that the owners are looking to launch a restaurant.
