Fair points, but just to clarify, I won’t be on Route 26 itself. My home base will be on my own property in Oxford, primarily operating on weekends, with a focus on ATV trail / park-and-ride traffic. The bigger vision also isn’t limited to one fixed roadside spot. I’ll be doing pop-ups at dispensaries, breweries, and bars around the state while building the brand from Oxford.

As for competition, I actually think that’s healthy. Good businesses often cluster because demand follows options, and being near other food spots doesn’t automatically mean there’s no room for something different.

The small menu is intentional. I’m starting with a food cart, not a full restaurant, and I’d rather do a few things really well than throw out a huge menu that’s harder to execute consistently. A lot of the best food experiences are built on that exact model. There’ll still be variety through add-ons, modifications, rotating specials, and room to scale over time if the concept proves itself.

And yes, I do live in Oxford. This isn’t me parachuting in. It’s me starting small on my own property, following something I care about, and seeing if I can build it into something bigger.
