Doughnut holes? Food truck owner has issue with Sanford
A Sanford doughnut truck has some holes in its schedule, and the owner has questioned the city's event scheduling as a result. Mohammad Deen said he moved Chillz Intergalactic Donuts from Fayetteville to the Tramway area a year ago and applied for a permit with Sanford so he could bring his food truck to city-sanctioned events. Although he got emails from the city in regard to his permit, he never received any emails in regard to scheduling events, he said during a phone conversation on May 6. Deen, who called the situation 'mysterious,' said he recently found out that the city had a typo in his email address, which explains why he didn't get the event scheduling emails for a year. He finally received an email regarding scheduling for the next six months on April 22, he said. Deen said he was only given three 'small event' days: July 13, Aug. 10 and Sept. 4, which are either a community movie night or a concert. The first two are Saturdays and the last one is on a Thursday. 'It's horrible,' he said, explaining a food truck can receive $5,000 worth of business in a few hours on a busy day, such as July 4, the Easter Egg Hunt and the day the city's splash pad opens, for example. 'There are no 'American' treats at the [July 4] festival?' he asked. Deen said the city is 'selecting a lot of taco or Spanish trucks' for popular events. In addition, he said these kinds of food trucks are allowed to park horizontally and dump their wastewater in the park, which brings flies. He said that he and other food trucks have to park only in one space, which is smaller. Deen said he dealt with Caroline Jeffries, the city's director of parks and grounds, along with two men who are parks supervisors. The Sanford Herald emailed Jeffries for comment, but as of deadline Friday afternoon had not heard back. 'We're just asking to be treated fairly,' Deen said. 'I don't want to paint the city in a negative view, but I know what fairness is. Certain trucks have eight weeks in a row every Saturday,' he said, referring to the six-month schedule. Deen's food truck has five employees, including himself. Two of his eight children, Amir and Ezra, help out too. In spite of the lack of city events, Deen said he's kept busy by networking with city businesses. He noted that Councilman Walter Ferguson 'is working with us to get into shopping plazas.'
