Where a food truck may park and sell is set by each Gloucester municipality, not the county. Towns use their local licensing and zoning power to confine vending to approved locations, cap hours, and keep trucks off certain streets and away from established restaurants.
New Jersey gives municipalities, through the Municipal Land Use Law and their local licensing power under N.J.S.A. 40:52-1, control over where mobile vendors may operate. Gloucester towns use that authority to designate vending zones, limit hours, require distance from brick-and-mortar restaurants, and confine trucks to approved lots, parks, or permitted events. Deptford, Washington Township, Monroe, Glassboro, and Woodbury each set their own rules, and vending on a county road or state highway right-of-way also answers to the county or NJDOT. A truck must follow the vending rules of each municipality it works, on top of its health license.
Vending outside an approved zone or hours breaches the municipal ordinance; police or code officers can order the truck to move, issue municipal-court fines, and revoke the local vendor license.
