Food truck operator to open a restaurant

A popular food truck operator is expanding his business by opening a restaurant.

Marty's Meats owner Marty O'Sullivan expects to open Marty's on Park at 703 Park Ave. sometime in mid-May

The brick and mortar addition has always been part of the business plan, says owner Marty O'Sullivan. "It is an extension of the brand that we starting building 2 1/ 2 years ago in terms of what we do on the truck. It will be heavy on sandwiches, a little bit more veggie-friendly."

He expects Marty's on Park will serve the lunch, dinner and late-night crowd, and possibly also include weekend brunches.

The new eatery will seat up to 10 customers inside, a dozen more outside.

O'Sullivan added that a restaurant will allow him to keep the business going year-round. The food truck business is largely seasonal.

O'Sullivan is also developing a mobile unit that would vend exclusively at Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center in Hopewell, Ontario County.
