Hope you're hungry because Will & Pops is back for another Spring Fling! Will & Pops has come to so many Spring Flings that we have lost count and just thinking about it is making us hungry! Will & Pops offer modern comfort food with a twist. Established in 2010, Will & Pops has stood the test of time with their commitment to using fresh, local ingredients and supporting the local food economy; for example, they use only freshly ground beef and locally baked breads.

A proud native of his beloved Bull City, Will grew up on Holloway Street and caught the entrepreneurial bug early on. At the age of four, he and his brother were selling sodas on the street corners of downtown Durham. Witnessing the challenges of his neighbors, he also

developed a strong commitment to enriching his local community.

Ever the entrepreneur, in 2008 Will decided to start a restaurant, and bought a prime space in downtown Hillsborough. Only later did he discover that the space wasn’t eligible for a food license permit. Not to be stopped and inspired by an episode of “The Great Food Truck Race”, he bought a beat-up old van and started selling his signature “modern comfort food with a twist” --grilled cheeses and burgers-- around the Triangle. At the time Will and Pop's was only the second non-Mexican food truck in Durham.

Having established a devoted local following, in 2014 Will and Pop's launched their catering service, expanding their menu to include a broad range of modern comfort food creations.

In Spring of 2015, Will & Pops rolled out their new and improved truck which can be found all over the Triangle, from Durham and beyond: including stops at NCSU campus, Morehead Planetarium, Holly Springs, Morrisville, Fuquay Varina, Starlight Meadows in Burlington, Bahama, Bottle Theory in Apex, Cary, Goldston, Butner, Carrboro, and more!

Will and Pop's is a story of entrepreneurial ambition and celebrating local community through food—one delicious "samich" at a time—told on the streets of downtown Durham, North Carolina!
