STAR RATING

Cory at the Sluggers Grill food truck

THE DREAM

Cory dreamed of starting his own food truck for years. In 2025, with guidance from his mentor Mike, he made it happen.

While still working at a car dealership by day, Cory launched Sluggers Grill as a part-time venture. Setting up at Smugglers Island Pub in Palm Harbor, the truck quickly built a loyal following.

The goal? Grow from one location to many, and eventually make Sluggers Grill a full-time career.
