What public records show for food service in Popejoy
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Tornadoes, And Flooding (2024)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4784, severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, on May 24, 2024 for Franklin County, which includes Popejoy, for an incident that began May 20, 2024. It is one of 12 major disaster declarations covering Franklin 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 Popejoy stays closed.
Major construction
Public works repair in Franklin County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "APP CERT Franklin County Roads Districts 5 & 7" (roads and bridges, about $129,000) in Franklin County after DR-4421, a severe storm declared March 23, 2019; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs to roads, water systems, and utilities like this can cut service to kitchens nearby or change truck access, so we check the route before delivery. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Popejoy
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Popejoy does not have to stop meal service: a kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can run beside the building for the length of the job.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Popejoy
Iowa is in FEMA Region 7, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Franklin 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 Popejoy would travel I-80 and local routes, as it would for nearby Dows and Alden. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Emergency plan: a hospital kitchen in Popejoy
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Popejoy'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 hospital kitchen in Popejoy loses power for several days in an event like the one behind FEMA's DR-4784 (severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding, declared May 24, 2024). Meals still have to go out while the kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.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
First call: confirm power, water, and drain options. Delivery follows once the route is set. The rental runs by the week, so it ends as soon as the permanent kitchen passes inspection.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 for a one-month emergency rental. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
