Giovanni Fresco, the popular Italian food vendor at the Shirt Factory Food Truck Corral, is getting its first brick and mortar location, one block away. Giovanni Casanica, 30, and his wife Francesca Casanica, 26, have purchased the former Open Door Mission building at the corner of Walnut and Lawrence Streets for $125,000.

“We are excited. We are so happy to be there. We got a lot of love in the past years from the Shirt Factory, a lot of customers,” Giovanni told The Chronicle. They’ve built the business at such venues. “During the summer, you can find us in live events and farmers markets throughout the week. We’re in both Saratoga farmers markets. We’re in Troy. We’re in Schenectady. And Thursday nights in Glens Falls at the Shirt Factory.”
