Sharp Moves

by Robert Wright

In Monroe, Louisiana, Frank "Sharp" Green, a barber, and Victoria Maxwell, a restaurant waitress, transform a single food truck into a multi-million dollar empire that redefines culinary access and economic opportunity. Overcoming personal challenges, the couple create a model of community empowerment that reshapes economic landscapes. Their vision culminates in a ten-story headquarters providing infrastructure for emerging Black businesses in their hometown. With strategic brilliance and unwavering partnership, Frank and Victoria prove that entrepreneurial success is about lifting others while rising. Each calculated move expands their reach, from regional food trucks to nationwide mobile dining experiences aboard their fleet of Prevost luxury coaches that bring gourmet cuisine to small towns across America. Sharp Moves is a testament to love, ambition, and shared dreams.
