Federalist Pig is reopening its popular Fedmobile food truck after receiving an outpouring of customer requests.

As it prepared to start construction on a sit-down restaurant at 5504 Baltimore Ave., the barbecue joint shut down the food truck in mid-June to make room after.

But spokeswoman Laura Rankin told the Hyattsville Wire that customers reached out through social media, phone and email to ask them to reconsider.

Starting today, July 7,  they’ll have limited operating hours in order to accommodate construction crews in the morning.

The Fedmobile, which first set up in Hyattsville in March 2021, will be open from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays and from noon to 8 p.m. on weekends. The menu remains the same.

“One of our goals is to stay close to the community, and listen to the communities needs, so we are thankful we were able to work out our operations to accommodate both the Summer Pop-Up at Hook Hall and run limited hours at Hyattsville,” Rankin said. “We look forward to offering the full Federalist Pig Experience very soon at Hyattsville!”

She said crews are due to break ground “very soon” on the new restaurant on the same site as the Fedmobile.
