Redmond’s first alcohol-free food cart pod opened last month and the owner says people have been supportive of the dry venture.

“I think the rewards will be higher than the risks. It’s just a matter of time that we get known and people come and try our food. But we have a plan and we have a goal. And just for the sake of community, I think we’re going to stick to our guns and we’re going to roll the way we started,” says Hoss Talebi, owner of Redmond Food Park.

Talebi says he plans to add several more food carts to the lot and he is expecting business to pick up as the weather warms up.
