What public records show for food service in St. Louis County
Past emergency
St. Louis County and DR-4797
FEMA has made 8 major disaster declarations for St. Louis County since 2000; the latest, DR-4797, severe storms and flooding, was declared on June 28, 2024 after an incident that began June 16, 2024, and it covered St. Louis County. 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
Road and utility work near St. Louis County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "County Wide Culvert Damage" (roads and bridges, about $977,000) in St. Louis County after DR-4797, a flood declared June 28, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches St. Louis County, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. Long repair projects also bring crews who need to be fed, and a mobile kitchen trailer can serve them on site.
Major renovation
Kitchen renovations in St. Louis County
Cafeteria remodels, hospital kitchen rebuilds, and hotel renovations are planned months ahead. A facility in St. Louis County 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 St. Louis County
Minnesota is in FEMA Region 5, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, St. Louis 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 St. Louis County would travel I-94 and local routes, as it would for nearby Virginia and Mountain Iron. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.
Local rental costs
Kitchen trailer rental costs in St. Louis County
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 senior nutrition program's production kitchen in St. Louis County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using St. Louis County'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 senior nutrition program's production kitchen in St. Louis County schedules a 2-month renovation, gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it, 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), 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. Plan on roughly 5 hours from parking to cooking for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for cold storage, and 4–6 hours more if a ramp is needed instead of stairs.4. Timeline
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 2 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.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 $43,970 for 2 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
