Custom Food Truck Builder in Gillette, Wyoming
Zion Foodtrucks builds custom food trucks and trailers for Gillette, WY — the self-proclaimed Energy Capital of the Nation and the production heart of the Powder River Basin coal, oil, and coalbed methane industry. Gillette operators serve a fundamentally different customer than anywhere else in Wyoming: shift crews rotating in and out of mines and gas fields, CAM-PLEX event attendees, and a growing downtown lunch scene on Gillette Avenue. We build for 24/7 deployability, mine-road dust sealing, and Campbell County Public Health compliance — and we ship directly to the Energy Capital.

Why Gillette Food Truck Operators Choose Zion Foodtrucks
- Built for Gillette's mining and energy workforce — crew-feed capable rigs with 150+ gallon fresh water, extra refrigeration for protein-heavy menus, and full stainless underbelly protection against haul-road coal dust and gravel chip.
- CAM-PLEX Multi-Event Facilities-ready — Gillette's CAM-PLEX hosts the National High School Finals Rodeo, Wyoming Oil & Gas Industry Conference, and Pyrotechnics Guild International; we build for these multi-day high-volume event footprints.
- Campbell County Public Health + Wyoming DOA dual-compliance — Gillette mobile food vendors answer to both CCPH for temporary events and WDA for state licensing; our documentation package addresses both reviewer workflows.
Deep Local Knowledge of Gillette's Food & Events Scene
- CAM-PLEX events — a 1,100-acre event facility pulling multi-state crowds for rodeo finals, industrial conferences, and auto racing; one good CAM-PLEX contract can anchor your season.
- Campbell County Fair (early August) — Wyoming's third-largest county fair with midway vendor opportunities and the Rockpile Museum Rockfest weekend.
- Mine crew feeding + energy field catering — Peabody, Arch Resources, and Buckskin Mine shift-change windows create a commissary-style B2B opportunity that's unique to the Gillette market and pays reliably year-round.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answering your questions about our food Truck manufacturing services.
Yes. We deliver direct to Gillette, WY — roughly 370 miles from our Denver-area shop, typically via I-25 north to I-90 east through Buffalo. Delivery includes a walkthrough of the generator, propane, water, and WDA paperwork, plus orientation on the features specific to energy-sector use.
Yes — this is core Gillette spec. We install full stainless underbelly pans, sealed plumbing chaseways, upgraded air intake pre-filters on the generator, hardened AC compressor shrouds, and rock guards on propane tank mounts. The truck is built to survive Highway 59 mine traffic.
Gillette operators need a Wyoming Department of Agriculture mobile food license, a City of Gillette business license, Campbell County sales tax registration, and Campbell County Public Health temporary food event permits for CAM-PLEX and fair work. For mine-site access, expect additional operator-specific safety orientation (MSHA or operator-level).
Absolutely. CAM-PLEX hosts 300+ events a year including National High School Finals Rodeo (when it’s in Gillette), industrial expos, and concerts. The key build choices: 10kW+ generator for multi-day operation, dual service windows, 150 gallon fresh water minimum, and a layout that can pivot between breakfast burrito service and full dinner menus.
Gillette winter lows average 5°F with extremes near -40°F. Our Wyoming winter package — spray-foam insulation, heat-traced plumbing, under-floor tank heaters, propane regulator de-icing, and optional block-heater integration — is built for the Powder River Basin reality, not the Front Range.
12-16 weeks build time from deposit, plus 2 days delivery. If you’re targeting Campbell County Fair in early August or a CAM-PLEX contract, sign 4-5 months ahead. For mine or energy-sector commissary work, we can prioritize B2B-spec builds with longer water and refrigeration runtimes.
