Corn Dog Crush: U-Haul Parks Trucks at Tasty Fairground Foods
HUGHES SPRINGS, TEXAS (March 23, 2015) – Stephen McKinney has been selling corn dogs since 1978. His family-owned company, Fairground Foods, is behind the Corn Dog 7 food chain in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Stephen and his son, Christopher, started Fairground Foods when parent company Corn Dog 7 Inc. closed in the early 2000s. Now the McKinneys have added some new items to the menu at Fairground Foods: U-Haul® trucks and trailers.
The Fairground Foods offices are located at 1914 E. First St. and are open 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 9 a.m.-noon Friday-Saturday. Reserve U-Haul equipment at this new neighborhood dealer by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Hughes-Springs-TX or calling (903) 639-3575 today.
In addition to carrying trucks and trailers from the industry leader in do-it-yourself moving and self-storage, Fairground Foods also offers towing equipment, support rental items and after-hours drop-off.
The great thing about Fairground Foods’ corndogs and funnel cakes is the memories that come with them. That is why Stephen and his family are working hard to keep Corn Dog 7 around. The menu items come piping hot and are made to order.
Fairground Foods has concession trailers that visit the actual local fairgrounds once a year. The festive atmosphere of the fair is important to McKinneys, who place a high value on family time and customer satisfaction. Stephen refers to the beautiful Hughes Springs area as “the middle of God’s country.”
Since U-Haul is family- and customer-centric, offering U-Haul trucks and trailers fits perfectly with Fairground Foods’ business model.
U-Haul and Fairground Foods are striving to benefit the environment through sustainability initiatives. Truck sharing is a core U-Haul sustainability business practice that allows individuals to access a fleet of trucks that is larger than what they could access on an individual basis.
Every U-Haul truck placed in a community helps keep 19 personally owned large-capacity vehicles, pickups, SUVs and vans off the road. Fewer vehicles means less traffic congestion, less pollution, less fuel burned and cleaner air.
Fairground Foods is a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck. Upload your photo through Instagram using #uhaulfamous, or go to www.uhaulfamous.com to submit your photos and learn more.
