School Success Story
St Thomas More College, Sunnybank
St Thomas More College engaged Food Trailer King during the initial construction phase of our new Student Hub, when a temporary solution for our school tuckshop was required.
With a short turnaround time, it was essential that the trailer was fully operational by the first day of term to ensure continuity for our students. Food Trailer King worked closely with us to meet this deadline, maintaining clear and consistent communication throughout the process.
The trailer was fully customised to suit our specific needs, allowing us to effectively operate our school tuckshop from a mobile setup. It was delivered in excellent condition and ready for immediate use, with no issues encountered.
We highly recommend Food Trailer King for their professionalism, responsiveness, and quality workmanship.
The trailer is currently serving over 1,000 students each day, and we look forward to continuing its use beyond the completion of our new facility. It will provide ongoing value as a versatile asset for school events, including sporting games and activities across the College.
