Earlier this year, the popular Mackie’s Barbecue announced the closure of its Clarksburg, Frederick, and Olney locations, effective January 10th, to concentrate on expanding its catering and online delivery services through its Gaithersburg location. Now, approximately six months later, owner Cam Makki has revealed plans for Mackie’s to make a comeback in Olney with a seasonal food truck.
In a statement shared with us and on social media, Mackie’s announced its intention to station a seasonal food truck at Johnson’s Florist and Garden Centers, located at 5011 Olney-Laytonsville Rd., directly across from Lone Oak Brewery. The new set-up promises to offer “picnic tables, string lights, great food, and a laid-back vibe.” While further details will be released soon, you can view their full statement below:
Since my parents’ retirement-thousands of you have reached out asking when I’d bring things back. Truth is, I wasn’t sure…
It’s tough being a one-man show-that’s why we made the decision to sell off and downsize our expansive family business (restaurants, bars, food trucks, beer and wine stores, etc…) I kept our original takeout and catering location in Gaithersburg- to continue giving back to the community and do what I love.
Recently, the right opportunity came along-and for the first time in a while, it felt like the right moment to grow again.
I’m excited to announce that we’re coming back to OLNEY-this time as a food truck, posted up right across from Lone Oak Brewery at Johnson Farms. We will have picnic tables, string lights, great food, and a laid-back vibe.
Keep in mind-this is just seasonal. More details coming soon…
