What recent events and projects mean for food service in Martinsville
Past emergency
February 2025 ice storm
An overnight ice storm in February 2025 left about 4,029 Appalachian Power customers in Henry County without electricity, as Virginia's governor declared a state of emergency for the storm. A kitchen trailer and refrigerated trailer on a generator can keep a school, hospital, or shelter serving meals until power is restored.Major construction
A new courthouse from the municipal building
In June 2026, Martinsville City Council approved a planning agreement for converting the municipal building into a new courthouse, a renovation now estimated at about $46 million. Long public construction projects bring crews on site, and a mobile kitchen trailer can cover crew meals as work ramps up.Major renovation
Walk-in freezer at Martinsville Middle School
Martinsville City Public Schools put a walk-in freezer and reach-in refrigerator project at Martinsville Middle School out to bid in September 2024. During cold storage replacements, a 20ft refrigerated trailer parked beside the kitchen keeps school food deliveries on schedule.Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Martinsville
Statewide emergency operations are coordinated from the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC) at 7700 Midlothian Turnpike, North Chesterfield, VA 23235; locally, Martinsville emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries, which reach Martinsville by the US-220 and US-58 corridor. The same routes serve nearby Ridgeway and Henry County.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Martinsville
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Martinsville'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 Martinsville schedules a 3-month renovation, upgrading the electrical service and gas lines that feed the kitchen, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 38ft Mobile Kitchen, 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4), and 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
VDOT lists "Martinsville - Area 3: Ailcie St To Pine Hall Rd" on Fayette Street as activity dates set - rw started, so the delivery plan would check that work zone and pick a truck route around it. 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
8–12 weeks before demolition: site visit and utility check. 1 week before: delivery and setup. Then 3 months of cooking outside, with pickup after the new kitchen is commissioned.5. Estimated rental cost
38ft Mobile Kitchen $7,995 + 38ft Low Temp Dish Trailer (Tier 1-4) $4,995 + 20ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $2,995 = $15,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $47,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
