Expanding to Serve Military in Hampton Roads
About Chow Call
HAMPTON, Va. – A food delivery service geared toward helping military members is now expanding into Hampton Roads.
Former Marine Todd Waldemar started Chow Call in North Carolina. Because it is such a process to get base access, many commercial food delivery services don’t serve those on base.
Unique Service for Military Members
“There’s a void where these customers don’t have the same conveniences as other people do,” explained Waldemar.
Ludo Frequelin is now the manager for Chow Call in Hampton Roads. He tells News 3 that Chow Call really works to develop relationships with the military facilities and it also has an extensive process to hire drivers.
Expansion Plans
“Our goal is to be on 27 bases in the next 18 months,” stated Waldemar. “We’ll be in Northern Virginia in just a few months, and then we hope to be in Southern California and Washington state within the next 18 months.”
How to Order
Users can order food through Chow Call by calling or through their website. There’s also an app.
The founder of Chow Call said they’re in talks with the Commissary to deliver groceries, starting by the end of the year with Naval Air Station Oceana.
