In a heartfelt address to the Lamont community, Kyle, co-founder of Happy Times Snack Shack, shared the inspiring journey of their food truck, which was established during the pandemic. The initiative aimed to provide a sense of joy and comfort amid uncertainty, serving up smash burgers and chicken sandwiches as a reminder that happiness can be found even in tough times.
Kyle expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from the community, highlighting how Lamont has embraced the food truck since its inception. The local enthusiasm has been so strong that a petition was placed in the window of the truck, seeking support to make Happy Times a permanent fixture in downtown Lamont, specifically outside of Bottles, where they hope to enhance the patio area.
Despite the potential loss of two parking spaces, the community's response has been overwhelmingly positive, with many residents and visitors expressing eagerness to support the food truck. This influx of visitors is expected to further invigorate the town's vibrancy and appeal.
Kyle acknowledged the challenges faced in navigating the process to secure a permanent location but emphasized that the mission of Happy Times remains unchanged. The growth of the food truck reflects the evolution of Lamont into a dynamic community, and Kyle's vision extends beyond the immediate request, aiming to contribute to the town's prosperity in the future.
In closing, Kyle thanked the community for their support, which has been pivotal to the success of Happy Times Snack Shack, and encouraged everyone to continue fostering the spirit of togetherness that defines Lamont.
