What public records show for food service in Cresco
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Flooding, Straight-Line Winds, And Tornadoes (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4796, severe storms, flooding, straight-line winds, and tornadoes, on June 24, 2024 for Howard County, which includes Cresco, for an incident that began June 16, 2024. It is one of 14 major disaster declarations covering Howard County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. A refrigerated trailer can save the stock in a failed walk-in first, and a kitchen trailer can follow if the building in Cresco stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Howard County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "APP CERT-Damaged gravel roads" (roads and bridges, about $128,000) in Howard County after DR-4421, a severe storm declared March 23, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Cresco, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A facility in Cresco that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Cresco
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in Cresco can schedule a temporary commercial kitchen for the work, sized to its menu, meal counts, and the electrical service on site, instead of closing its kitchen.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Cresco
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Howard County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Iowa are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Cresco would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Ridgeway and Lime Springs. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs
Kitchen trailer rental costs in Cresco
Starting monthly rates on our current price list: mobile kitchen trailers $4,995 / month, dishwashing trailers $4,995 / month, and refrigerated trailers $1,895 / month.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Cresco
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Cresco's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
Suppose a public high school cafeteria in Cresco schedules a 4-month renovation, replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 28ft Mobile Kitchen, 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4), parked near the loading dock, where staff can move food between the trailers and the serving line.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-80 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. On arrival, the refrigerated unit is cold-ready in about an hour, and the kitchen and dish trailers take about 5 hours to connect and start up.4. Timeline
Lock in dates when the renovation contract is signed. The trailers arrive just before demolition and stay 4 months, through final inspection of the new kitchen.5. Estimated rental cost
28ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 22-26ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $11,885 per month on our starting price list, or about $47,540 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
