City of Atascadero Announces Coffee Vending Opportunity at Atascadero Lake Park

The City of Atascadero and the Central Coast Zoo are excited to launch a new Coffee Vending Opportunity for local food vendors! Beginning September 1st through the end of the year, the vending program will take place at Atascadero Lake Park Sunday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

This pilot program is designed to offer coffee options to Zoo visitors and parkgoers, providing coffee options that are currently not available. By welcoming local coffee vendors, the option to purchase coffee will enhance the overall guest experience. Based on the success of this program, we will work to expand it in the future.

Vendor Participation Requirements:

• Commit to dates within the timeframe requested.
• Bring a small, quiet generator; electricity is not available on site.
• 9% of coffee sales would be required.
• $1 million in General Liability Insurance naming the City of Atascadero as additionally insured.
• Current City Business License and valid Health Department Permit.
