The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed Mike & Alexa Food Cart to the Chamber. Mike and Alexa Matier started with the idea of feeding snowmobilers while they were riding around in the mountains and let the idea grow.
“Initially my husband thought about doing a large barbeque, but as we were looking on line, we started coming across hot dog carts which became the overwhelming idea for the business plan,” explained Alexa.
They decided early on that they would concentrate their efforts on hot dogs, and various sausages, as hamburgers were too messy and they were unwilling to purchase the frozen patties. Initially, they thought they would sell Polish sausages, the ones everyone picks up from the store, but once they started to go with Wood's products, they did not want to sell anything else. All of their products are from the local market here in Sandpoint.
“With my background as a Dietitian Aid in the food services industry, and my husband’s customer service background, I thought this would be a great thing for Sandpoint,” said Alexa.
They are willing and excited to cater to all kinds of events. Their unit is mobile and they can go almost everywhere. Mike and Alexa Food Cart sell Wood’s Smokies, German Sausages, franks, and drinks. Occasionally they sell chips and they are always looking for an alternative for a side dish.
Contact them now! As their business is still growing, both Mike and Alexa still hold full time jobs. For more information, call Alexa at 265-1963 or on her cell at 255-6729 and email at ammatier@hotmail.com. They look forward to serving you and being a part of your future events. Welcome to the Chamber and thanks for being a part of our community!
