NOT YOUR AVERAGE FOOD TRUCK

PepperJax has launched 2 new mobile kitchens. The food trucks are mini replicas of a PepperJax kitchen including their grill. Similar to in-store operations, they will be cooking live to order.

The trucks have a multi-purpose use for the brand. Outside of traditional things like events and festivals, PepperJax will use the trucks as a teaser for new restaurant openings. Additionally, they plan to utilize the trucks at existing restaurants that will be going through a brand refresh.

PepperJax introduced it’s first mobile kitchen in North Platte, Nebraska ahead of their store opening. The second truck is on the move in Iowa participating in local events this summer. The brand hopes to be able to offer mobile kitchens in the future for large caters and private parties.

“They’re the real deal. We didn’t skimp on the process and will be cooking to order just like we do in-store. We also added technology to stay current like digital menu boards and a sound system to keep guests entertained” says Erin Palladino, Chief Marketing Officer.

The mobile kitchens are a new way for PepperJax to participate within communities they service and introduce themselves to new ones. It really is grill-to-go, with the new PepperJax mobile kitchen. Food trucks beware.

PepperJax will open their newest location this July in North Platte, Nebraska.  They will be located at 1313 S Dewey Street. The restaurant will have dine-in and drive-thru options. They will also be introducing a limited bar offering.

North Platte patrons can get a preview of their famous phillies ahead of the open by visiting the PepperJax food truck. The truck is located in front of the future location.  The food truck hours are 11:00am – 8:00pm, 5 days a week.

Pepperjax Grill Ready to Greet Salina

Salina residents will have yet another new place to eat to experience.

The newest addition to the Salina food scene: Pepperjax Grill, a chain restaurant firing up classic Philly Cheese Steaks and other savory meat sandwiches and salads; and this chain has been doing so for over 15 years.

Pepperjax Grill is located in south Salina at 3015 S. 9th St.

The restaurant specializes in the way they make their food; on a grill, right in front of the hungry customer.

Erin Palladino, VP of Ops Services, says that the Salina location is the 10th restaurant of the chain to open in Kansas and they are excited to make their debut in central Kansas.

Not only is the restaurant new, but Pepperjax Grill debuted their new logo and updated interior decor to the Salina location.

Meg Prejzner, Pepperjax Grill Communications Manager, says that the Salina location will even debut a new dish.

While guests had their first look at the food Pepperjax Grill had to offer today, they also made donations that all went to the Military Affairs Council as a part of the VIP Event.

Palladino says that this is something Pepperjax Grill will like to continue in their newest community.
All this, as Pepperjax Grill readies itself for its opening to the public tomorrow, June 7.

Although tomorrow is public opening of the restaurant, the community is invited back to the official Grand Opening on Tuesday, June 20, where Pepperjax will have specials, prizes and other giveaways.
