Food trucks are no longer just a street-food story. School districts, colleges, and private campuses across Colorado and Wyoming are putting custom trucks and trailers to work feeding students, running culinary programs, and serving game days and events. Mile High Food Trucks builds those units, and we have delivered them for districts including Lamar County Schools and Cherry Creek Schools.
Why schools and campuses choose food trucks
A truck or trailer solves problems a fixed cafeteria cannot:
- Satellite feeding. Reach a second campus, a sports complex, or an overflow lunch crowd without building a new kitchen.
- Flexible service. Move where the students are during the day, and pull double duty at games, fairs, and after-school events.
- Culinary and vocational programs. Give a culinary or career-tech program a real, working commercial kitchen students can run.
- Summer and event feeding. Keep meal programs running through the summer and at community events when the main cafeteria is closed.
What we build for schools
Institutional units take more abuse than a weekend food truck, so we build them to hold up to daily use and to pass health inspection in your district:
- Commercial, NSF-rated equipment matched to your menu and volume.
- Durable stainless surfaces, heavy-duty flooring, and finishes that take constant cleaning.
- A service window and layout that move a lunch line quickly and safely.
- Full water, waste, refrigeration, and power systems built to code so the unit can run a full day on its own.
For the systems behind that, see our notes on plumbing and water and choosing the right generator.
Built around district budgets and procurement
We know school purchasing runs on quotes, bids, and purchase orders, and we are set up to work that way. A custom truck runs about $65,000 and a trailer $40,000 to $55,000, built in about six weeks, and we can provide the detailed quote and spec sheet your purchasing office needs. We source the vehicle ourselves, so your team does not have to find or vet a chassis. See our full cost breakdown.
Proven with real districts
We have built and delivered units for public school districts, including Lamar County Schools and Cherry Creek Schools. We are happy to talk through what worked for them and how a similar unit would fit your program.
Serving Colorado and Wyoming
We build for districts and campuses across Northern Colorado and Wyoming, from Denver and Fort Collins to Cheyenne and Casper. If your district, college, or campus is considering a food truck or trailer, reach out and we will help you scope the right unit, the budget, and the timeline.
