PORTLAND, OR – Southeast Portland’s Cartopia food cart pod, which was slated to be redeveloped into apartments, might not be closing after all.
In an email, Potato Champion owner Mike McKinnon wrote that he and other cart owners at the late-night pod were offered a chance to renew their leases for two more years. The letter was signed by all of Cartopia’s current tenants, including Whiffies Fried Pies, Perriera Creperie, Pyro Pizza and more.
In May, The Oregonian reported that developer Vic Remmers had submitted plans to the city for a four-story, mixed-use development on the site, at Southwest 12th Avenue and Hawthorne Street.
McKinnon said he didn’t know why those plans had changed. The Oregonian has reached out to the developer for an update. Stay tuned for more details.
