Chaco Footwear’s “Traveling Taqueria” Engages Consumers On Summer Road Tour

ROCKFORD, Mich. (April 07, 2017) – Chaco, an iconic outdoor lifestyle footwear brand, is heading out for its fourth annual summer road tour with stops at music festivals, college events and city drop-in locations. At each destination, a customized food truck and trailer transform into an immersive brand experience, “Chaco Footwear’s Traveling Taqueria,” that engages visitors with fun activities, and food – free tacos!

Drawing inspiration from the fact that tacos are one of the most hashtagged foods on Instagram and authentic cuisine is one of the most compelling reasons to travel, this year’s tour aims to introduce Chaco to new consumers in new places. 

“We’re excited to highlight Chaco’s belief that our best days are those spent outside and that travel is an important component of our lives,” said Alyssa Omlie, Chaco marketing specialist.  “That’s why this year’s tour takes us to new destinations around the country.”

At Chaco’s Traveling Taqueria, guests will receive a free taco after taking a quick and quirky “Find Your Spirit Taco” quiz to identify their unique adventure style. The trailer is outfitted with a product display and fitting area for guests to try on new Z/Cloud sandals, Chaco’s iconic sport sandal with a cushioned midsole. After trying on a pair of sandals, guests will also receive a free taco-themed Z/Band wrist accessory.
