Meet the Business Owner

Stan J.

Business Owner

As a long time Portland resident, Stan has fallen in love with not only the city and the people, but the food cart scene as well. He has been going to food carts since before they were a Portland icon. His love for the new fab really developed after he moved to Florida in 2012 to help with family. While in the south, Stan would go to food cart rally’s and talk with many people who own their own food trucks about how they got started and the idea of opening his own small business was created. Being surrounded by the tropical food and coming up with his own interpretation of the Gulf Coast recipes, he brought what he liked to the Northwest and started developing his menu here. Stan has held every position in restaurants including managing one of the most respected fine dining establishments in all of the Northwest. Now he is ready to get out on his own with his own creations at Happy Valley Station and looks forward to opening several more food carts in the coming years
