Vendor questions, answered straight

$2,000 per month, and the second month is free on the introductory founding-vendor rate. The recommended term is an initial six-month term followed by month-to-month renewal, which secures your pitch while the court fills and leaves you flexible afterwards.

2. The court is small on purpose, so the trucks in it are not competing with a dozen others for the same lunch queue.

Approximately 2 months from now. We are not publishing a fixed date until the site work is finished and we can commit to one, because a date we miss is worse for you than no date at all. Reserve now and we will confirm the opening in writing as soon as it is firm.

No. It is a vendor license agreement for a pitch, which is a much simpler document than a commercial lease and a much faster process. You are licensed to trade from a reserved space, not taking on a property.

You roll onto month-to-month renewal. The six-month initial term exists to hold your spot through the opening period, not to lock you in long term.

Not yet. Electrical hookups are a planned improvement, not something available on day one, so your unit needs to be self-contained for power at the moment. We would rather tell you this before you sign than after. When hookups go in, existing vendors get them first.

Not yet. Water service is planned alongside the electrical hookups. Until then you need to arrive with your own water and leave with your own waste, the same as trading curbside.

Reserved vendor space, Customer parking, Overnight parking, Shared food court environment. The planned improvements are electrical hookups, water service, camera system with simplisafe monitoring, further site improvements as the court grows.

Yes. Overnight parking is available to participating vendors, subject to the terms of the vendor license agreement. That means no towing the truck home after every service and no hunting for somewhere legal to leave it.

Not yet, and we will not pretend otherwise. A camera system with SimpliSafe monitoring is a planned install, not something on the lot today. Overnight parking is available now, so decide what you are comfortable leaving on site until the cameras go in. We will tell existing vendors the moment they are live.

Yes, dedicated customer parking on the lot. Customers pull in and park rather than stopping on the shoulder of Farrington Hwy, which is the single biggest reason curbside pitches lose sales.

Tell us your length, width and height when you inquire and we will confirm against the pitch dimensions. We ask for all three because trailers and tow vehicles need the full footprint, not just the box.

Yes. You need to be insured to trade here, and we ask about it at the inquiry stage. If you are in the process of arranging cover, say so and we will work with your timeline.

Yes. We ask every vendor to hold current health certificate for the unit before trading. If you are mid-application, tell us and we will hold your space while it comes through.

No, and it is worth being precise about this. Renting a pitch on private land means you are not competing for curbside spots, working around park restrictions, or being moved on from the highway. It does not change the licensing your own food business needs. You remain responsible for your own permits, insurance and health certificate exactly as you are anywhere else.

For now, yes, because there are no electrical or water hookups on site yet. A self-contained truck, wagon or trailer that carries its own power and water can trade here from day one.

85-817 Farrington Hwy, Waianae, HI 96792, fronting Farrington Hwy. It sits a block from McDonald's, Taco Bell and KFC, across from the Pililaau Army Recreation Center on Pokai Bay Beach, and close to the Waianae Grocery Store.

Because they have already done the work of training people to drive to this block when they are hungry. A truck here is not persuading anyone to make a special trip, it is offering something better to people who are already stopping.
