DETROIT -- Popular barbeque restaurant Slows Bar BQ says its 26-foot food truck was stolen from a parking lot in Detroit Wednesday morning. In a post on the company’s Facebook page, the company wrote “If you happen to see a 26ft black trailer with Slows To Go logos, contact Detroit Police & email manager@slowsbarbq.com.”
The truck was located in a locked parking lot on according to the company, but the thief or thieves were able to break into the lot on Michigan Avenue and leave with the truck.
Slows owner Michael Metevia told WDIV-Detroit the truck was stolen around 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. While he didn’t know exactly how much the truck was valued at, he said it is one of the avenues the restaurant plans to use to survive during the ongoing coronavirus shutdowns. And while losing it will hurt business, it does other damage too.
“We’re doing everything we can to keep our staff working and keep our guests safe. So when something like this happens, it is more of an emotional blow than business,” Metevia said.
