Being locally owned and operated goes a long way in Trussville — that’s why Amanda Short said she’s glad she and her husband, Ben, are able to bring a local delivery service to the area.
They bought Trussville to Go, an online and mobile food ordering company, in 2018. Their mission is “connecting hungry folks” with Trussville’s restaurants and helping local restaurant owners expand their customer base through T2GO’s easy-to-use website and app.
“We love being a part of the thriving businesses downtown and are so happy to serve our own community,” Short said.
Though she and her husband are co-owners, Short serves as the managing partner and handles the day-to-day operations and logistics. She loves helping people find new favorite places to eat — and helping restaurants grow.
“This job allows me to use my marketing skills while interacting with people in our community,” she said. “I’ve been able to build relationships with business owners, employees and customers and support local businesses.”
Short is originally from Gulf Breeze, Florida, but after meeting her husband — a Hewitt-Trussville High School graduate — in college, they moved back to the area 10 years ago.
When they first bought T2GO, none of the national delivery services were operating in the area, and they felt Trussville needed its own food delivery service. They’ve spent the past year building a team of drivers and working with Trussville-area businesses to grow T2GO into the thriving service it is today.
Since Short and her husband took over the business in July 2018, they’ve completed more than 15,000 orders from customers who can order from anywhere — their home, workplace or a local hotel, for starters. They have a list of more than 40 restaurants to choose from.
“I hope our customers experience excellent customer service and enjoy delicious restaurant quality food from the comfort of their own homes,” Short said. “I hope customers are pleased with the ordering and delivery process and satisfied with the wait time associated with it.”
