Project Smashburger Membership Spotlight

Membership Spotlight: Project Smashburger

Great food has a way of bringing people together, and that’s exactly what you’ll find at Project Smashburger.

Serving up handcrafted smash burgers from their food truck, Project Smashburger was founded with a simple mission:

“To serve the best burgers on the street.”

Every burger is cooked using the smash burger technique, creating a flavorful sear that locks in the juices while delivering the crispy edges and fresh taste customers have come to love. But for the team at Project Smashburger, it’s about more than just serving great food—it’s about creating a memorable experience for every customer.

A Dream Turned Reality

Project Smashburger is owned by Mark and Tracy, whose journey to opening a food truck was years in the making.

The idea first came while helping their son move to college, but the timing didn’t seem right. After much prayer and reflection, they set the dream aside. Not long afterward, they felt called to move from Asheville, North Carolina, to Conway, South Carolina, where they became part of Coastway Church.

About a year and a half after relocating, the dream of owning a food truck resurfaced. With the encouragement of Tracy and support from their church family, they felt it was finally the right time to pursue it. After spending more than 20 years in the collision repair industry, Mark stepped into a new chapter, turning a long-held dream into Project Smashburger.

More Than a Meal

Project Smashburger believes every customer deserves more than just a good burger. Their goal is to provide friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and an experience that keeps people coming back.

From the moment you walk up to the truck until the last bite, their team is committed to serving quality food with genuine hospitality.

Find Project Smashburger

Whether you’re catching them at a local event, festival, or food truck gathering, Project Smashburger is ready to serve up fresh, made-to-order smash burgers that are packed with flavor.

The Aynor Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to spotlight Project Smashburger and celebrate another local small business serving great food while following a dream. We look forward to seeing them at community events throughout the area and wish them continued success on the road.

“This isn’t just food—it’s an experience.”
