Advocacy and Empowerment

The Phoenix Food Truck Association supports local food truck businesses in two key ways.

First, PHXFTA helps its vendors access new business opportunities through catering, private events, and other revenue streams. Founded by Ben Goldberg, a former food truck owner who understood firsthand the challenges of relying solely on unpredictable street sales, the association was created to help vendors stay active and build their businesses throughout the year. By connecting members with catering opportunities, PHXFTA helps local food trucks reach new customers while creating opportunities for continued growth.

Second, PHXFTA advocates for its members and the broader food truck industry at the city and state level. The association actively monitors proposed policies, rules, and regulations that could affect mobile food businesses and works to ensure the interests of local vendors are represented. With a strong understanding of the industry and its challenges, PHXFTA helps make the voices of Phoenix food truck businesses heard.
