Anthony “Tony” Proctor
Tony Proctor is a Marine Corps veteran and the owner of The Spot food truck in Jacksonville, N.C.
Tony mostly operates The Spot food truck in other cities, but he does sell food sometimes in the parking lot of New Beginnings Christian Center, where he is a pastor, with permission of the church. However, the city’s rules largely prevent him from operating anywhere else, and if a restaurant were to open within 250 feet of New Beginnings, he’d be kicked out of there as well.
Tony and a group of small business owners have teamed up with IJ to file a lawsuit challenging the city’s incredibly strict regulations.
