Meanwhile, Drew Crockett, owner of the University City Hub Bub coffee truck, has opened a non-mobile coffee shop at 1717 Arch Street in center city Philadelphia.
“The permanent location allows us to do a lot of things that we weren’t able to do in the truck,” he explains, “particulatly having a pour-over bar, which we didn’t have the space in the truck to do. So that’s very exciting — and it gives us a home base.”
