Construction of Food Truck Park Begins on Fort Myers Beach

Stevens Construction started work at the Access 26 Family Food Truck Park on Fort Myers Beach, a new dining con­cept comprised of a two-story, 3,000sf structure featuring a bar with covered seating, Manny’s Scoops ice cream shop and a retail area. The second floor will house storage, office space, restrooms, coolers, a freezer and dumbwaiter system for transporting beer kegs and supplies.

The project will also include a 569sf comfort center with men’s and women’s restrooms, storage and three outdoor showers. Additional amenities include a curbside table rail, artificial turf play area, three shade canvas structures, guest parking lot and beach access.

Scheduled for completion in early 2027, the centerpiece of Access 26 Family Food Truck Park will be five food trucks, each offering unique menu options.

Designed with storm protection in mind, the building’s generator and mechanical equipment will be elevated above flood level. Metal flood panels and waterproof walls will help protect the building from storm surge and flooding. The foundation is also designed to allow water to flow through more easily during severe storms while meeting FEMA and Florida coastal floodplain requirements.
