It’s been quite the year for the owners of The Pit, Amber Donahue and Chris Frisch. First, in January, the food truck park was ordered to close up shop, but then, just a few days later, The Pit was granted a temporary permit to reopen at its 7889 E. 22nd St. location.
So, fast forward now to six months later, and The Pit is planning to mosey into a brand-new spot in central Tucson.
Named Truck to Table, the park will encompass approximately 48,000 square feet of land, including a 2,600-square-foot building situated at 3333 E. Grant Road, just east of Country Club Road.
Donahue and Frisch have their sights set on hosting up to 12 food trucks at the new lot, offering a diverse range of cuisine. The park will also feature an indoor seating area with a bar, as well as outdoor seating equipped with games and activities for both people and pets.
Meanwhile, The Pit will still be operating from the original location on 22nd Street near Pantano Road and the iconic Skate Country. The owners of the property are considering redeveloping it into a gas station.
At the new spot on Grant Road, the owners plan to keep six food trucks permanently set up while the other six spaces will rotate with different vendors.
The Pit is currently located at 7889 E. 22nd St. and the new spot will be located at 3333 E. Grant Rd. with the new name Truck to Table. For more information, visit thepittucson.com and follow The Pit on Facebook and Instagram.
