The following is the full article quoted from ‘The Falmouth Enterprise’ published on 4/17/26, page 5, entitled, “New And Returning Food Trucks Announced For Falmouth Beaches”.
Beachside Blends and Chawgies will make a return to the town’s beaches this summer, providing food and drinks to beachgoers. New to the food truck program will be Perry’s Last Stand, an ice cream truck.
The town issued a request for proposals on January 16, soliciting bids for eight contracts. The town was looking for both mobile and fixed options.
Four businesses submitted bids for the eight contracts. The town requested bids for six fixed-location vendors, one mobile hot beverage vendor and one mobile food and beverage vendor.
Beachside Blends, a smoothie and acai bowl truck, was awarded contracts for Falmouth Heights Beach, Surf Drive Beach, Bristol Beach and Old Silver Beach (resident side). Beach Side Blends was the highest bidder for the awarded locations. Combined, the business’s bids total $28,826 for all four locations.
Chawgies was awarded contracts for Old Silver. The Jamaican food truck bid $12,500 for the location. It was the second-highest bid for the location.
Ice cream will be sold at Chapoquoit Beach. Perry’s Last Stand won the bid at $3,109. The ice cream business was also awarded the mobile vendors contract that allows Perry’s to stop at any of the town beaches when the fixed vendors are not in business, so as not to create competition.
No bids were submitted for the hot beverage vendor. Doggz & Hoggz, which placed bids for two fixed locations, was not awarded a contract.
Assistant town manager Peter K. Johnson-Staub told the Enterprise in March that “bids are evaluated for completion of submission and meeting minimum requirements.” He went on to explain that “Among those who meet all requirements, the award is made based upon price.”
