St. Louis restaurateur Brian Hardesty and Seneca Commercial Real Estate announced that they are bringing a food truck garden to Affton next spring.
The first in Missouri, “9 Mile Garden” will feature a daily rotation of St. Louis’ best and most beloved food trucks open for lunch and dinner services. A jumbo screen will show outdoor movies and live stream sporting events, and a permanent stage will play host to local and national entertainers sharing live music and performances.
“Our vision is to create a destination where people from around St. Louis and beyond come together to enjoy food, entertainment and community in a family-friendly environment,” said Hardesty, managing partner of 9 Mile Garden. “By creating a daily food truck destination, we are also investing in the economic stability of our local food truck scene, delivering crowds of hungry diners to the doors of the chefs and food makers who continue to drive innovation and opportunity in our local culinary scene.”
The name “9 Mile” comes from the days before streets had names or road markers, where landmarks were named for their distance from the courthouse or city center. This food truck garden is situated approximately nine miles from St. Louis’ Old Courthouse.
