Do you run a food truck?
We invite you to apply and reach a new audience on the U of A Campus.
Get started today!
The University of Alberta is excited to welcome Food Trucks to our campuses. Together, we can add greater diversity to our food service offerings for our students, staff and the wider community.
Why Park your truck with us
- Students are a prime audience wanting unique yet quick dining experiences. They also satisfy their hunger at varying times throughout the day — not just at typical lunch hours.
- Most university staff work a 8-4 p.m. schedule and look for lunch options on campus. They welcome novel offerings, especially with limited dining on campus during summer months.
- The nature of campus means people frequently walk outside to get from one building to another — consistent foot traffic!
Take Advantage of Back-to-School Excitement!
Students start returning to campus in late August. Book now to take advantage of busy campus foot traffic in September and October.
Food Truck Locations
With multiple locations to choose from, you can be sure to find your perfect spot. You can even try several locations if you’d like!

Bring a Food Truck to Your Event!
Would you like to host a food truck on campus for your faculty/department? What about bringing a food truck in for your next student group party? If you’re part of our campus community, you can do just that by following the internal bookings process.
Process for Internal Bookings
- Departments and student groups book outdoor spaces directly with Outdoor Site Bookings. Then they also need to apply for a food truck vending permit with Commercial Leasing.
- Outdoor Site Bookings provides approval for space, location, waste cans, etc.
- Commercial Leasing provides approval for the food truck space and vending permit
- Commercial Leasing receives the online application, approves the booking of food truck space and issues a vending permit for the food truck to be parked on campus on a particular date.
- Commercial Leasing reviews all the required documentation and verifies compliance with regulations.
- Commercial Leasing contacts OSB & Parking services to notify that a food truck has been approved. All approved food trucks will be added to the Food Truck calendar.
- A non-refundable fee is charged per event to get a food truck vending permit.
