What You Need To Know

Red's Corner in Southern Pines is providing food, drinks and more for its neighbors

The community has access to food trucks, coffee, beer, bonfire bits, heat lamps and bathrooms

Owners say they plan to offer their location as a safe haven until power is restored

Red's Corner is a food truck and beer garden on Southwest Broad Street. This week it has food trucks, beer, coffee and bonfire pits all lined up for its neighbors.

"When I heard that the entire town and actually the entire county didn't have power, I thought, 'You know what? Red's Corner can run,'" owner Rachel Jurgens said. "Every food truck can run with just generator power. A coffee shop can run with just generator power, and we can serve beer without power. So we thought why not open? And we will stay open as long as we can."

Some food trucks are even offering free food to first responders and anyone who needs it.

"Fireman, policemen, the guys out here directing traffic, any of those guys we are trying to take care of trying to help out," said Adam Roth who owns and runs Bayou in the Pines food truck.

Southern Pines Mayor Carol Haney went out to Red's Corner on Monday to show her support. Like her neighbors, Haney has not had power since Saturday night.

"What a selfish, cruel act that has really crippled this entire community," Haney said, reacting to the two substations that were vandalized. "Look out for your friends. We will get power soon ... I'm really sorry everyone is going through all this.” 

Food truck owners will be at Red's Corner every day this week. Owners say they will serve food and drinks until they run out or until curfew.

Curfew went into effect Sunday and runs through Friday. It's goes every day from 9 p.m through 5 a.m.

Officials say power could be restored by Thursday. Until then, everyone is hunkering down and trying to stay in good spirits.
