Faces of Kidderminster – Mark’s Jacket Potato Stand

Mark Garamszegi is a well-known face in Kidderminster. His jacket potato stand has been in the town since the 1980s and some of his customers have been coming to him for over 30 years.

‘I look after them,’ said Mark, who is now 56. ‘If you look after your customers they always come back.’

Mark’s day starts around 6.30am. That’s when he begins setting up his mobile catering unit. The first customers arrive around 9am. Mark knows most of them and he knows what they want too. Cheese and beans and cheese and curry are amongst the most popular fillings.

Mark’s customers include staff in offices and shops in the town. ‘I do some passing trade but most of it is regular business,’ he said. ‘A lot of my customers have become friends. I have seen some customers grow up from being in the pushchair to becoming adults.’

Mark said the time has gone quickly. ‘You meet different people every day. It’s my living and I enjoy it,’ he said.

‘Kidderminster is a good town. The people are nice and friendly.’

Mark’s jacket potato stand is usually open Monday to Friday. When he is not at work, he enjoys gardening.

Another week, another update! 💙 Ricky and Chris have been out again, continuing their efforts to make our town cleaner, safer, and more welcoming. 🌿 Last week, the pair focused their work on Church Street, cleaning business fronts, public pathways, and steps, wire-brushing brickwork to sharpen the look and bringing some real life back into the street. They also got stuck into de-weeding, sweeping, and tidying to keep things looking fresh. In total, they collected 10 bags of litter and racked up over 100,000 steps between them! 👣 Bit by bit, we’re restoring pride in our town and creating cleaner, more inviting spaces for everyone. We hope you’re all seeing the difference, and as always, if there’s an area you think needs a little extra attention, let us know below. 💬 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #community #support #local #love #new #town #business #nature #litter #clean
