What public records show for food service in Minneapolis
Past emergency
FEMA's 2016 declaration for Hennepin County
FEMA has made 6 major disaster declarations for Hennepin County since 2000; the latest, DR-4290, severe storms and flooding, was declared on November 2, 2016 after an incident that began September 21, 2016, and it covered Minneapolis. Floodwater can reach ground-floor kitchens and storerooms, and cleanup and inspection keep them closed. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Planning around construction in Minneapolis
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Hennepin County since 2016. A facility in Minneapolis planning an addition or a utility upgrade can book a temporary kitchen for the phases when its own is shut.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Minneapolis
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis
Minnesota is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Hennepin County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in Minnesota are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Minneapolis would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Lauderdale and Golden Valley. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: an assisted living community's kitchen in Minneapolis
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Minneapolis'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 an assisted living community's kitchen in Minneapolis schedules a 3-month renovation, replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), placed beside the building so staff can keep cooking, washing, and storing food on site.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-94 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 3-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.5. Estimated rental cost
40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $65,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
