CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — Candy Andy's Food Truck was forced to close after less than two weeks in operation when a small fire broke out in the mobile kitchen.

"It really hurt us for a little bit to have this happen to us," said Dru, the food truck owner.

The fire has been a significant setback for the new business owner, who says starting from scratch is already challenging enough.

"We were up the last couple of days. 7 am, stayed up late," Dru said. Food truck owner vows comeback after fire forces closure

Despite the difficulties, community support has kept him motivated to reopen.

"Letting us know, 'Keep going Dru don't give up,'" he said.

Assistant Fire Chief Tony Perez confirmed that Candy Andy's Food Truck had all required permits and inspections up to date when the fire occurred.
