A Santa Monica museum’s invitation to food trucks upsets local eateries
Food trucks are coming to Santa Monica, but the mobile restaurants could be driving into the same hostile territory they’ve famously found in Los Angeles.
That’s because some restaurant owners are already upset about a once-a-week “food truck court” set to open Sept. 14 at California Heritage Museum on Main Street. They cite the same sentiment that’s been expressed by L.A.’s brick-and-mortar restaurants about food trucks: unfair competition.
Peter Lepore, co-owner of Bravo Pizzeria, an Italian café less than a mile from the museum, is concerned that he’ll lose as much as 30 percent of his business to the planned food truck court.
“I’m very upset about it,” Lepore said. “Most restaurateurs on the block are adamantly against it because we have worked hard to build Main Street together as a group.”
