Groovy Grub with Hippie Chicks Food Truck

Big John Talks!

If you have a dream business, would you actually go for it? Are you brave enough to put your
products out there?
Elizabeth Hitchcock took a chance in the Midlands community, and with a fellow
businesswoman co-founded the latest, hippest food truck business in Columbia, South Carolina called Hippie Chicks — notably known as that 1973 Airstream rolling around town with tie-dye banners where you can grab some quick bites, salads, desserts, and more.
Join us on this episode where Big John chats with her over some Hippie Chicks bestsellers to
talk about how they started and how the Midland community welcomed their unique creations.
So tune in to this episode as Big John talks!
In this episode, they discuss:
1. How did the chicks began their business from scratch
2. Why support local businesses
3. What to order for your next Friday dinner
What to listen for:
[1:59] From being a stay-at-home mom to business owner, find out how Elizabeth scored an
opportunity of a lifetime following a team-up with someone from the karate studio she used to
work at, scraping up some capital, and finding a second-hand 1973 Airstream on Facebook
Marketplace.
[4:20] Big John digs into their bestselling burgers and sandwiches. Find out how they gave
these their own twist. (Warning: just listening to the ingredients will make your mouth water.)
[6:13] “Pimento cheese is the Southern caviar,” warns Big John. Does their homemade Pimento cheese pass his standards?
[8:50] When you buy from Hippie Chicks, you’re supporting the dream of two women
entrepreneurs, and local businesses in the Midlands.
[9:32] From South Carolina to Mississippi to South Carolina again, what kept Elizabeth coming
back to the Midlands?
It all begins with a dream. And like Elizabeth, you can also make this into a reality in Columbia,
South Carolina. While opening a local business (and being a woman in the industry) has its own
sets of challenges, ultimately, your product will be the one to speak for you, so craft unique creations to make you stand out. The community will surely welcome these new treats, and will
benefit from the vibrance and liveliness that new enterprises add to the Midlands.
