About
Special Eats was established in 2022 to serve delicious grilled cheese sandwiches from our mobile food truck. Since the beginning, our mission has been to employ individuals with special needs.
Throughout 2023 and into the first half of 2024 we have seen phenomenal growth as we have expanded our operations to include over 50 individuals with special needs whom we proudly call our special team. In addition, we've added a new storefront and placed a second Special Eats dessert truck on the road. We could not have done this without the fantastic and generous support of the fine folks of Tucson and all the wonderful, surrounding communities.
Our special team oversees a growing food service concern, managing the complete operation from beginning to end. They are developing marketable skills in provisioning the business, inventory management, food preperation and sales. They track all events, keep accurate calendars for such, and operate a 2 fully functioning websites. You can see their talent on both of our food trucks in the go-to bags used on the trucks for food delivery, designed by our special team, the best grilled cheese in town, prepared and served by our special team, and the best in unique sweet items. You are always guaranteed service with a smile.
Our special team is responsible for the creation and deployment of advertising campaigns, and 5 social media platforms used to launch those campaigns. They operate 2 storefronts and an online store offering home decor, candy, drinks, and one-of-a-kind gifts for all occasions, which are designed and built the way you love them. You can even get the ever popular Special Eats swag you seek.
