Aww Shucks food truck business gives corn a gourmet upgrade
By Chanda Temple
One day in March 2020, Phillip and Avrie Powell were sitting in their garage, thinking of businesses they could run during the pandemic.
They wanted to create something different that was healthy, fun, guilt-free and definitely not fried. And thus the Aww Shucks food truck was born.
“Aww Shucks started July 4, 2020, and it was just supposed to be a job we did on the weekends,” said Phillip, 42. “Little did we know it would take over both of our lives.”
Today, the Powells are running a successful food truck that sells 15 flavors of gourmet fire roasted corn, which has added a global recognition to its already growing list of local and national commendations.
