The pod opened in 2021, following closure of the Alder Street food cart pod in 2019.[2][3] The city hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the pod's opening.[4]
The pod has also hosted events. In 2023, the site hosted a floral installation,[5] as well as a dance party and ice cream social following the Pride Bike Ride.[6][7][8]
In December 2023, Portland signed a five-year deal to keep the pod open.[9]
