Street Vendors on Twitter
By Daniel Delaney on March 1, 2009
Twitter is most certainly the rage these days. And more and more we’re seeing street vendors pop up on the micro-blogging service. Some use it to chat with fans, while others use it to tell their customers where they’re rolling out. Regardless of how it’s used, its a great way for these mobile businesses to stay connected.
So we here at VendrTV are working to compile a database of vendors on Twitter, broken up by cities.
If you know of some, please add them to the comments! As we grow, we’ll update our list.
New York City
- The Treats Truck – @thetreatstruck
- Waffles & Dinges – @waffletruck
- The Dessert Truck – @desserttruck
Los Angeles
- Kogi BBQ – @kogibbq
