Features Buffet vol. 3 - Exploring Clark's Valley! 🚚🗺️

Last time around for Features Buffet we went through equipment inside the food truck needed for building your empire in the SPCU order. Now, it’s time to explore the first city at your disposal - the quaint Boulderville! Your food matters a lot, sure, but without knowing your surroundings, you will be running around like a headless chicken. Don’t worry - we’re here to help you!




The first available place for you is the Boulderville’s East District called Clark’s Valley. You will be able to progress through the game and build outposts to expand your influence, but you have to start somewhere. Clark’s Valley may look tame and quiet at first, especially in comparison to the bustling West District, but it has a lot of lively landmarks with hungry customers. We will be going through each of the districts to show you what type of people spend time there and how to best utilize it in your business expansion.




It’s only fitting to start our journey through the town with the Boulderville Train Station. This is the main hub of transportation in the city, so obviously you can find a lot of Tourists coming in and usual residents leaving for trips and vacations, Normies in particular. This is a perfect opportunity to serve great food to people about to start or end their journey. Of course, in such a spot, timely service matters much more than the quality, so you have to adapt your mobile kitchen accordingly.



We move on to the place where most of the Tourists stay to enjoy the serene atmosphere of Boulderville, so the Quiet Cove Tourist Lodges and their surroundings. Some places of note here are the surrounding shops and the smaller basketball court. Tourists are usually up and about exploring the city and the landscapes around, but when it comes to breakfasts and late dinners - you must be prepared to provide them with such food that they will forget food delivery exists.




Serving food to Tourists is fun, especially since you can experiment a lot, but you cannot rely fully on them for steady profit, as they only visit for some time. You will have to, sooner or later, also cater to the usual residents of the city, them being Elders, Hipsters, Bluecollars, Kids, Teenagers and of course Normies. In the many Housing Districts around Boulderville you can find different groups of customers depending not only the location itself but also time of day, so be sure to adapt accordingly! Some Villas can be found around the premises as well, so you can maybe try to cater to a more ‘’expensive’’ crowd.




Every respected city needs to have a school. In the Clark’s Valley, you can find the Boulderville Primary School with the adjoined facilities such as a Swimming Pool and a sport Court. Obviously, the customers you want to target the most is Kids with their Normies parents as a close second. One thing to note is that no kid will be seen here after school, so there’s no point leaving your truck in there for the evening unless there is an event happening at the Court or Swimming Pool. Otherwise, that would be kind of weird…




You know now where different people live, but where do they spend their work and free time? Well, Main Street is one of the most popular destinations for locals, so it’s less about finding the right people and more about the right time. In the morning, you will usually meet either Normies running errands and commuting to work with or Elders. The afternoon, when the majority of locals work, is a perfect time for Tourists to explore the city and try some local cuisine, but also for Teenagers starting to leave school for the day. The evening there is usually for Hipsters, because you know… hipsters.



Clark's Valley wouldn’t be complete without a Cafe! Loved by everyone, but especially Tourists, Normies and Elders, the Whispering Willow Cafe is a perfect place for you to set up your truck and maybe grill some burgers nearby. By choosing an already established business site, you ensure that at least some people will show up, making it a pretty safe option for a first spot. Who wouldn’t want a freshly prepared cheap bite with their morning coffee or tea?




Some lots in Food Truck Empire are not the most visited for the time being, such as Calm Forest. It may happen that in your playthrough, these may transform later to other environments as time passes but also can be hubs for special events. Nevertheless, some people appreciate the quaint nature of places like that, so you can find some hungry customers there for sure in your downtime.



Serenity Sawmill is the usual place of work for the Bluecollars in Clark’s Valley , so you will have to mostly cater to their needs and also adapt to their schedules. When they go to work, when they start they break, when they leave - you have to be there to provide if you want your food truck business to prosper. Also, there is a Parking Lot nearby with the possibility of other customers appearing throughout the day, so prepare accordingly.
