Beckley-Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce hosts grand opening for Fire and Ice Food Truck Court

BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) — There was something for everyone at the Fire and Ice Food Truck Court on Pinewood Drive in Beckley on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, from snow cones and honey to salt-of-the-earth favorites like beans and cornbread.

Holli Perkins said she pulled over to the food truck court for the “Redneck Hibachi” food truck.
Perkins said the food truck owner puts his own spin on the cuisine.

“We’ve heard excellent things about it, as well as the Snow Biz truck, in general,” said Perkins. “So we wanted to try something like a twist on regular Hibachi.”

Perkins said they were not disappointed.

“Excellent. Different, but excellent,” she said. “I’m always into trying new things.”

The idea for the food truck came from Sarah Carter, owner of Fire and Ice Food Truck and the organizer who leases the lot at the corner of Market Road and Pinewood Drive.

“When food trucks want to do business, they have to go ask someone if they can set up. They have to move around. They have to pull a food truck every day,” Carter explained. “My idea was not pulling my food truck around. It was being at one location, and (at) a busy intersection like this, it’s non-stop all day.”

She said Fire and Ice Food Truck Court solves a problem not just for food truck owners but also offers something for foodies in the area.

“So this is a one main location for Beckley, southern West Virginia, for food trucks to set up five, six, seven days a week, whatever they’d like, and for Beckley to come to one location, for all food trucks,” Carter said.

The Beckley-Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce hosted a grand opening ceremony at Fire and Ice Food Truck Court on Tuesday, with Chamber members joining other diners on the lot.
