ST. LOUIS — Chloe Yates and Ben McArthur have purchased Frankly Sausages, the popular sausage and fries food truck that closed earlier this year.
Previous owners Bill and Jamie Cawthon closed the restaurant space and the food truck in May and decided to sell the truck, the Frankly Sausages brand and all future bookings.
"We've been fans of the brand, and of Bill's (those dang sausages and fries) since the start," Yates said on Facebook. "So what you know and love will be staying ... PLUS we'll be adding a few of our own dishes and our own take on the concept."
Yates and McArthur will not continue service at the Cherokee Street Frankly Sausages storefront, the Facebook post said.
Yates previously worked at Alphateria and McArthur is currently at Brennan's Work & Leisure. He is also known for his time as the chef and co-owner of J. McArthur's. The two partnered recently to work on a pop-up series called Magnolia.
The duo purchased the truck, the Frankly Sausages' brand, recipes and equipment, according to Sauce Magazine. They plan to take the food truck out as early as July 1, they told the magazine.
