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.

Just over a week to go until this year’s Love Kidderminster Funday 2025!, and it’s going to be a wild one (in the best way). We’ve got Boogie Storm hitting the stage, if you’ve ever wondered what happens when Star Wars meets dance battles, you’re about to find out. Star Wars fans, consider this your moment. 😉 There’s also live music, dino walkabouts, a mini farm, free face painting, magic shows, firebreather acts, and all sorts of family-friendly chaos around town. Oh, and we’ve brought back the legendary rodeo bull, because nothing says "summer fun" like being thrown off a mechanical cow in front of your mates. 🫣 Check the full schedule above and get ready. Just one request: sunshine, please and thank you. 🙏🏼 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #family #fun #local #summer #events #town #love #entertainment #starwars #rides Chaos Magic Kidderminster Chloe May's Dance Academy All About You Arts etc

It’s been just over 2 months since Ricky joined the BID team, and what a difference he’s made! 💙 In that time, he’s cleared over 3 tonnes of litter from our streets and come across some interesting finds... trolleys, baskets, cones, even barriers! 🫣 Take a look below at some of Ricky’s biggest clean-up jobs, the community support has been amazing, and it's clear he's making a real impact in our town centre. 💙 We’re so excited to be expanding his role soon... stay tuned for updates! Have you seen Ricky around? Noticed the difference? Let us know! 👋 Ricky Carter #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #litter #nature #summer #family #local #town #support #love #litterpicking #green #community
