The Mandeville store features a variety of freshly prepared food options, including sandwiches, salads, wraps, and fresh-cut fruit made daily on-site. Fast casual offerings include Godfather’s Pizza and Hardee’s.
Truck facilities are designed with long-haul needs in mind:
- Eight diesel bays
- Nine bobtail parking spaces
- Seven showers
- Laundry facilities
- Dog park
- CAT Scales
- Love’s fresh food items
The location also includes space reserved for EV charging stations, allowing for rapid installation if customer demand grows.

- $2,500 to Lakeshore High School
- $2,500 to the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Louisiana
