Octavius “Ray” Raymond is a Marine Corps veteran and owner of The Cheesesteak Hustle food truck in Jacksonville, N.C.
Ray has a commissary in a leased location among a strip of other businesses, and has the permission of the owner to set up his food truck out front. However, because the strip is near property that is zoned residential and near restaurants, Ray can’t set up in front of his own commissary.
Ray and a group of small business owners have teamed up with IJ to file a lawsuit challenging the city’s incredibly strict regulations.
