Holly Wilson, owner of Bubbles & Brews JAX was recently named the newest member of the Women’s Food Alliance.
The concept behind Bubbles & Brews was to create a vintage mobile bar that can we transported much like a food truck can.
In the case of Bubbles & Brews JAX, Wilson’s truck travels within a two-hour radius of Jacksonville, which means it can be just about anywhere and at any event in Northeast Florida.
Locations these brew trucks can be found are popping up across the country and it was Wilson’s mission to bring the idea to Jacksonville and its surrounding area.
She has a background in marketing, but she has also always had a deep-down love of the hospitality industry and starting her own business, and this venture provided her with that perfect opportunity.
She transformed a Piaggio Ape, which is a truck common in Italy that has one wheel in the front and space behind the driver to carry something, but still small enough to fit through double doors.
Wilson initially saw Piaggio Ape’s being used as mobile coffee or flower bars while her and husband visited Italy.
Her passion for traveling was another reason that made owning a business that is not bogged down by one location very appealing and a perfect fit for who she is as a person.
Bubbles & Brews JAX’s mobile bar has seven taps that serve a variety of drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
From beer and wine to lemonade and cold-brew coffee, just like in the way the business approaches locations, it takes that same mindset into what is actually served.
Their truck has been affectionately named “Blossom” and fits the name as it is decorated with balloons and other floral décor.
Wilson believes that being mobile makes it the perfect addition to parties of any kind, and it can even fit in the majority of indoor spaces as well, once again showcasing its versatility.
According to Wilson, she is delighted to join the Women’s Food Alliance to connect with other like-minded women in the industry.
She knows it takes a lot of hard work and determination to start and own a business and she is inspired by the dreams that they have brought fruition to members of the Alliance.
