What's next for iconic SpudBros tram as it leaves Preston's historic Flag Market

SpudBros' iconic tram has left Preston's Flag Market, but what’s next?

Founded by brothers Jacob and Harley Nelson, who began by selling baked potatoes from an old tram in Preston, Spudbros are now followed by millions of people on social and boast sites in major UK cities.

The tram had become a beloved fixture at the historic Flag Market, but was removed last month as the brothers announced a ‘new era’ for their cherished spud brand. Now, they have revealed what’s next for the original wagon.

In a video on social media, alongside the caption ‘what is next for the little tram’, SpudBros revealed that they are now taking the old vehicle to major events and festivals, and re currently at an event at Olympia London.

They also teased that the tram will be headed to somewhere in Scotland next week.

Prestonians need not worry though, as SpudBros now have a new, permanent container at the Flag Market. The iconic tram will also be serving up spuds at Preston North End home games.
