What public records show for food service in Rice
Past emergency
Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, And Flooding (2013)
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4131, severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding, on July 25, 2013 for Benton County, which includes Rice, for an incident that began June 20, 2013. It is one of 3 major disaster declarations covering Benton County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. 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 Rice
FEMA's Public Assistance records list no large road, water, or utility repair for Benton County since 2016. When construction near a hospital, school, or care home in Rice cuts utilities or closes a kitchen in phases, a facility could lease a mobile kitchen trailer and a dishwashing trailer for the length of the work.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in Rice
Remodeling a commercial kitchen in Rice 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 Rice
Minnesota is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Benton 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 Rice would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby St. Stephen and Royalton. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Rice
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Rice'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
A public high school cafeteria in Rice plans 4 months of work upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen. Closing for the whole project is not an option, so food service moves outside.2. Trailer setup
A 24ft Mobile Kitchen, and 12ft 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-94 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen trailer once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 4 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
24ft Mobile Kitchen $4,995 + 12ft Refrigerated Trailer (Tier 1-4) $1,895 = $6,890 per month on our starting price list, or about $27,560 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
