Top Pot Prepares to Roll Out New Trailer

Somewhere between releasing a book and touting the tome all over town, the Klebeck brothers procured the latest mobile unit for the Top Pot enterprise: a 1947 Airstream Vagabond trailer.
The vintage coach marks the second curb cafe for the doughnut kingpins: in August they bestowed upon Renton a 1962 Airstream Bambi serving dozens of cakes, espresso drinks, and drip coffee. That one is still there today, but cofounder Mark Klebeck says the newer four-wheeler—bigger, and decidedly more badass—may take its place.
“This would allow us to expand our current offering of doughnuts,” says Klebeck, noting the Vagabond will stock up to 40 varieties of fried dough. “The Bambi would be used for various promotional events until we find a permanent home for it.”
The goal is to have the Vagabond in place by the end of December. And then? “We are always looking at vintage Airstreams or trailers for future use,” hints Klebeck. “We feel they complement all that we are trying to build with our brand.”
