Food Truck Park & Commissary Central Arizona college - Maricopa campus

Central Arizona College is proud to welcome local food trucks to our Maricopa campus. Beginning in Fall 2023 food trucks in need of a location to Park and Sell, will be able to do just that from the Maricopa campus parking lot. As the college transitions a former cafe kitchen into a fully operational and licensed commissary kitchen, trucks will be able to continue to keep open, and grow their small business. At the end of phase 3, local food trucks will have the ability to also become a commissary client and have their commissary kitchen just steps away from where they sell their products. We are excited for this adventure and look forward to working with you. Let's get our yum on!
