National Mango Board
“Joy Ride” will bring interactive mango experiences to Texas, Mississippi and Florida
To continue celebrating peak mango season, the National Mango Board announced the launch of its mobile experiential activation, “Joy Ride.” This innovative initiative will bring the mango experience to consumers through a mobile mango food truck tour designed to spread the joy of fresh mangos across four U.S. cities including Frisco, Texas, Tallahassee, FL, Pensacola, FL and Oxford, MS.
“Joy Ride” is designed to captivate consumers, immersing them into the world of fresh mangos with exciting on-site activations, a mango snack bar, photo opportunities and a memorable mango mascot. The mobile mango food truck will visit a variety of high-traffic locations, including popular grocery stores and enticing sporting events, to share the joy of mangos with communities across the country.
“We are thrilled to bring ‘Joy Ride’ to life and share the incredible taste and versatility of fresh mangos with consumers in a new and exciting way,” said National Mango Board Director of Marketing, Dan Spellman. “By visiting consumers in these markets, we’re creating unforgettable, fun experiences while educating participants on the nutritional benefits of mangos and inspire people to get creative with mango recipes.”
From the bustling excitement of Frisco to the historic charm of Tallahassee, the sun-soaked shores of Pensacola and the vibrant college town of Oxford, “Joy Ride” promises unforgettable experiences for mango enthusiasts of all ages. The mango food truck kicks off in Frisco on Aug. 24 at Kroger and Aug. 25 at Frisco Roughriders’ minor league baseball team stadium. The tour then heads to Florida, with stops at the Tallahassee Publix on Sept. 1 and Florida State University for the Florida State vs. Boston College football game on Sept. 2. Florida momentum continues with a stop at the Pensacola Publix on Sept. 4. The mango food truck wraps up in Oxford with an on-campus event at Ole Miss on Sept. 6, followed by an Ole Miss vs. Middle Tennessee Game Day experience on Sept. 7.
