The Gab Cab
About The Gab Cab
The idea of the Gab Cab originated in York, Maine during Labor Day Weekend. I was grabbing a drink at an outdoor bar at a hotel. The bar was actually a stationed trailer, which I thought was super unique and cool! Then the gears started to turn…what if this trailer was mobile and could travel to different venues and do events. Alas, The Gab Cab was created. That very next weekend I went out to look at a bus I found on Facebook marketplace. I bought it on the spot and immediately went to work!
