The Grove Food Truck Park The Grove in Prairie Grove, a food truck park with the goal to serve as a community gathering place, is an idea that came to Jobin Kirik on a plane traveling home from seeing his sister in Chicago. The Grove food tuck park includes this shell that was purchased from Friends of Prairie Grove Pound. The Grove has a stage for live music, several picnic tables, four food trucks and men’s and women’s restrooms. The stage will be painted black as well as the ceiling of the shell, which is sprayed with a material to help the acoustics. -Courtesy of Enterprise-Leader -Photo courtesy of The Grove Food Truck Park
