Coffee-A-Go-Go Business Spotlight
The well loved food truck “Coffee-A-Go-Go” is owned and operated by Leo Klemons and his wife Tonya. Leo used to work at Kenny’s Collision center repairing cars but always wanted to own a restaurant. When the opportunity arose to run this food truck, you better believe his two worlds collided.
This was the opportunity that Leo desperately needed at the time. Life had not been looking so great before the food truck days… and quite frankly the before Jesus days, Leo had been an alcoholic. But through a church service he attended he saw that God had a plan for his life and he walked through that door in faith. Now sober behind the wheel of a new kind of car and his wife by his side, he has been walking in his new found freedom.
The couple duo now get the opportunity to show up to countless types of events and bless their customers with sweet and cold treats. In the past year, they have opened their service window 256 times, and 48 times in May alone. The truck will service different parts of Georgia, and sometimes open its window to several different events in one day. Leo and Tonya are the only two employees, but that doesn’t stop them from quick service!
With an extensive menu, every costumer is guaranteed to enjoy a special treat. The truck is equipped with soft serve machines, milkshake machine, cappuccino machines, slushy machines, and they serve coffee & hot chocolate too! The soft serve machine has a unique design that allows customers to choose select flavors to be swirled into the cone so they can create a special flavor.
The couple expresses deep thanks to anyone who has done business with them. From the customers themselves at large events, to the companies and businesses that invite them back time after time. From military bases to EMS crews, school’s teacher staff, and corporate events, Coffee-A-Go-Go has found themselves at a wide array of event types.
If you see the Coffee-A-Go-Go truck at an event, make sure you stop by to grab something! Would be a grave mistake to miss out on a sweet treat and to be served by people with such caring and big hearts for this community. (The next public event they will be at is the Thomaston 4th of July celebration at Greatest Generations park.)
And to book a day with Coffee-A-Go-Go at your next event, call Leo at (770) 412-2497 to set something up.
