FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Take it With You, Kitchen Sink and All
Grub Hub USA, manufacturer of the world’s lightest and most portable camp kitchens and field stations will debut its newest patent pending GrubHub™ products at the Outdoor Retailer trade show in Salt Lake City, UT on August 9, 2007.
Located in Leeds, Utah, Grub Hub USA will be offering the all new Chuck Truck model camp kitchen to outdoor retailers such as REI, Sportsman’s Warehouse, and Cabela’s in the United States, and additional retailers abroad. The new camp-kitchen-on-wheels “redefines the market for this type of gear” according to company president, Joe Baughman.
  
The product’s goal, according to Mr. Baughman, “is to provide highly portable, light weight work space that is used for all types of camping and outings ranging from scouting to tailgate parties.” Company literature says the Chuck Truck model is made to be light enough to roll along for an afternoon at the beach and yet rugged enough for Mt. Everest base camp.
Folded up, the Chuck Truck weighs about 25lbs and is the size of a larger piece of rolling luggage. Extended, the first of the GrubHub™ line offers over eight square feet of table space, room for a two-burner camp stove, a sink, and a tower rack system. The tower system is for supporting a lantern, cooking utensils, gravity fed water bag, and an organizer that keeps condiments, can opener, matches, cooking oil, soap, and other kitchen necessities at hand. The lower storage compartment has three adjustable shelves and almost 4000 cu inches of organized space for pots, pans, dishes, stove, fuel, paper towels, and other kitchen gear. A folding kitchen sink is part of the package.
Mr. Baughman invented the Grub Hub line of camp kitchens during a trip to Lake Powell with his wife, Patty. “On arriving at a camp site about 60 miles up the lake while somehow forgetting the camp table, condiments, silverware, and spatulas of any kind, my wife and I had time to think about it while sitting in the sand carving some utensils to eat our bland food.”
The idea was drawn up in literally minutes upon returning from Lake Powell, but it took another 3 years to more fully design the products, obtain patent pending status, and begin manufacturing. GrubHub™ products are currently designed and made entirely in the U.S. Custom made aluminum extrusions, blow-molded plastic parts, and mountaineering grade sewn bags are incorporated to make sure the products are as light as possible and yet very durable. Major suppliers include companies in Phoenix, AZ, San Antonio, TX, and Chicago, IL.
The Grub Hub’s tortoise-like logo, and the tag line “take it with you”, make an obvious match for the products. The Chuck Truck has a compact profile with a hard plastic shell around the back and sides to store and transport all of your gear. It then extends to form a “Hub” for your camp, beach setup, or tailgate party. Formerly of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Mr. Baughman said he and his wife wanted a business logo that reflected the outdoors and their new desert home. The logo inspiration, a desert tortoise, was literally wandering down the trail in front of them one day while hiking in the nearby Red Cliffs Desert Reserve.
Outdoor Retailer is a major trade show for the company but Mr. Baughman also hopes to attract the scientific, medical, and military communities as customers. Mr. Baughman states that “while we need to focus our marketing efforts, we will keep looking for new customers that value highly portable organized outdoor work space. It would be very rewarding to see the Chuck Truck in use around the world as first-aid stations.”
Additional products for Grub Hub USA include accessories for the Chuck Truck as well as two more major items on the drawing board according to Mr. Baughman. For more information, delivery dates, and pricing please visit www.grubhubusa.com .
