Our Story

The Name

Where FOUR 99 Comes From

There's a reason we named it FOUR99 and didn't try to make it sound fancy. It's because there's a story behind it. It was important the name meant something to us. Not just a random food truck title.

The name of the truck is simple and meaningful, and it comes from a song we love by an artist who really speaks to us.

The title ties back to racing, and racing is a way to honor Abby's dad's legacy because he was a huge NASCAR fan. FOUR99 feels like a race number because it is one, and it carries that same rush of being out front and giving it everything you've got.

This name means a lot to us. It holds a piece of family, a piece of our story, and a way to hold onto that old school Race City feeling when life felt slower, memories felt bigger, and everything just felt a little more simple.

It's that feeling you had when weekends felt long, screen doors slammed behind you, and nobody was in a rush. Your mom's 90s country music playing, something good on the grill, and nowhere else you needed to be.

For me, that feeling always goes back to those days, watching races, music playing, lunchtime at Maw Maw's, and playing outside until it was dark without a worry in the world. It was simple, but it meant everything.

That's the feeling we're trying to bring back.

Imagine the truck pulling up. We fire up the flat-top, and the music starts playing. You grab an old vintage soda, kids get a popsicle after dinner. Someone says, "I'll just get fries"… and then ends up ordering a burger too.

The Family

A Family Affair

Heritage

Race City Roots

Mooresville, NC isn't just where we live. It's home.

This town was built on racing, where details matter and you don't cut corners, and that's how we cook.

Every burger, every batch-made sauce, every batch of fries… it all matters. Because food should be done right too.

The Philosophy

Saturday Morning Energy

Remember when weekends felt long, when you had nowhere to be and everything just felt better?

That's what we're chasing every time we fire up the griddle, not to be fancy, just something real, something familiar, the kind of place where you slow down, put your phone down, and just be with the people you're with.

FOUR99 was built for that, to slow things down even if it's just for twenty minutes, to make a random Tuesday feel a little more like a Saturday morning, to turn a parking lot into somewhere you actually want to stay and just enjoy the simple things again.
