Food trucks aren't a fad — they're a fast-growing slice of how America eats, and StreetGrubber is built to keep pace.
The U.S. food truck market is valued at roughly $2.8 billion in 2026, and the number of food-truck businesses has been expanding at an annual growth rate of about 8–10% over the past five years. That momentum means more trucks on more corners than ever — and more reason to have a locator app that tells you exactly where the good grub is parked right now.
Globally, the food trucks market is projected to grow from about $2.88 billion in 2026 to $4.17 billion by 2034, a compound annual growth rate of roughly 4.7%. As the curb-side dining boom continues, StreetGrubber keeps foodies and their favorite trucks connected — in real time, cuisine by cuisine, city by city.
