Fruit truck coming Sunday

FAIRMONT — Eight years ago, Irina Kleinsasser sold some cherries to friends. Today, Kleinsasser has a company in The Fruit Truck. It delivers a variety of fruits.

The Fruit Truck is coming to Fairmont. The Fruit Truck will be in Fairmont from 2-3 p.m. Sunday at Bowlmor Lanes, located at 617 South State St.

“We are excited to bring our delicious fruit to the Fairmont community,” Kleinsasser said. “Being able to provide U.S.-grown, quality, fresh fruit – at an affordable price – is something in which we pride ourselves.”

The company started as an idea from moms who wanted better food for their families. Since, The Fruit Truck has gained mass publicity and many new customers because of its unique business model, which allows it to sell fresh fruit directly to its customers, eliminating the need for grocery stores while keeping costs low. The fruits come from farms and orchards around the country.

The Fruit Truck packages produce in one-quarter or one-half bushel boxes for customers at the truck, so customers don’t need to bring their own boxes. There are no purchase limits per person. No masks are required of customers. Cash or checks are accepted.

Fairmont residents can sign up for text message updates here and email/text updates here for when their fruit will be delivered.
