Its the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and Buoy Bowls has a lot to be thankful for, as both trucks are heading out again! The day gets off to a very rocky start when Elanor breaks down on the way to Wake Med North, TWICE! Luckily, Derek is able to get the truck moving and arrive on site a little bit late, for a wide-open shift. Both locations do well and since the truck won't be open on Thanksgi...

The first Monday of November means we are heading out to NC State's Campus! This time the #purpletruck is parking next to Valentine Commons and we expect a busy shift. Unfortunately, the day starts out poorly, as Elanor has to stay at the commissary and cancel her shift that was scheduled for the day. Derek is bummed and explains the reason for this sudden change in schedule. Nonetheless, the c...

Happy Halloween! But that's not the only reason to celebrate, today is the very first time we are sending out not 1, but 2 trucks!

It turns out to be a crazy day full of ups and downs, but at the end of it all, Derek expresses how grateful he is to the team for their hard work in getting this far, and the suppo...

It's a BIG Sunday for the #purpletruck, as today is the first Sunday where Derek is going to step back and let the team take charge. Sunday's are our busiest day of the week and the team anticipates a busy shift ahead. Derek is very proud of the crew's work and shares his thoughts with them after the shift.

It may be a gloomy and rainy Friday, but that doesn't stop the #purpletruck from heading out to serve our amazing customers! We've been invited back to Meredith College and we're super pumped to be back on their campus! The weather is cold and rainy, but the acai bowls are full and tasty! This terrible weather can't stop our customers from coming out and enjoying a bowl and it turns out to be a...

It is a historic day for the #purpletruck, as the crew is heading out without Derek! The team has been prepping for this move for some time, and it's finally the big day. Derek sends the truck out to Briar Creek with the utmost confidence that the team has what it takes to pull off a smooth shift. Come join us for this historic day on buoy Vlog! Thank you for watching this video. We hope that y...

Friday's mean the #purpletruck is headed to Lifetime Fitness in Apex and the local community always shows up! It is a gorgeous fall day outside and Derek is excited about the shift ahead. While the crew preps the truck and serves up a busy shift, Derek is working towards sending the truck out without him on it so he can focus on truck #2. It'll be a big step for the business, but Derek believes...

It's a very special Wednesday on the #purpletruck as we head out to Twin Leaf Dentistry, a new business in Holly Springs run by one of our super loyal customers. We are working with them to help establish new clientele and they are paying for 50 free small bowls to the first 50 customers to stop by the office! As expected, it turns out to be a solid shift! We get to tour the office and spread t...

It's a beautiful Monday for the #purpletruck as we head out to Stanhope Apartments on NC State's campus. Derek expects it to be a busy shift, as college-aged students are one of our biggest demographics. Unfortunately, the crew did not go out by themselves the previous Friday as planned, and Derek goes over the reason why. Kicking off a great Monday, the line starts early at Stanhope and it tur...

It's Wednesday, and its a big day for the #purpletruck. Today, Derek intends to step back and let the crew run the truck without his involvement, an important step to expanding the business. The shift goes very smoothly, with Josh and Ryan both working blending station. During the shift, Derek works on screening applications and establishing new locations for the trucks in the future. It's a bi...

It's Sunday, the weather is amazing, and the #purpletruck heads out to Holly Springs Academy for what turns out to be a sell out day. The truck is literally wiped clean of all acai, pitaya, fresh fruit, and we even have to substitute menu items for the last couple of bowls. It's the first time in a while the truck has had a sell out day and this one was a BANGER! After the shift is over Derek d...

Two years ago on October 1st, 2016 the #purpletruck opened its window for the very first time. Today, the truck heads out to Briar Creek to celebrate its official two year anniversary with its loyal customers and new faces alike. The crew works hard and delivers another BANGER of a shift before heading back to the commissary. Derek shares his appreciation and thanks with everyone who has helped...

It's a beautiful Sunday, and the perfect day for the #purpletruck to kick off it's 2-year anniversary celebration! With a bunch of balloons in tote and prizes to be won, the gang heads out to Holly Springs Academy for an absolute BANGER of a shift. Two years is not something to take lightly. It's taken hard work and dedication to get this far, but most importantly, it takes support from custome...

TGIF!! The #purpletruck heads to LIfetime Fitness in Apex to serve up some tasty bowls and some BIG smiles to kick off the weekend.
