From spring 2019 onwards, it will complement the existing catering on Allschwilerplatz, at Ciba (corner Mauerstrasse / Gärtnerstrasse), at the Hebelschanze, at the Triangle (Erlenmattquartier), at the Novartis campus (Fabrikstrasse) and at the Voltaplatz with food trucks.

The six locations will be gradually developed, starting with lunch. Markthallen AG determines which food truck is present when, how, and where. Markthalle AG does not operate a food truck themselves.
For the planned start of operation in May 2019, food trucks can compete with their concept at the Markthalle. She selects eight to ten that meet the requirements. In particular, it wants to actively promote the use of alternative energy sources.
The launch of the food truck locations goes back to two parliamentary suits by Thomas Gander and Salome Hofer.
