Printed takeout bags for West Covina, so the city's promo customers come back.

The city is handing you customers. Keep them.

West Covina's Economic Development office runs Taste of West Covina, a monthly series from February to October 2026. Each month the city picks local restaurants and shops, honors them at City Council, and pushes their month long special on the city website and social media. The first round in February featured Cafe 86, Fresco Pizza Plus and Sushiholics.

Free promotion is great. But here is the catch. A promo brings people in once. If they carry home a plain bag, they forget where dinner came from by next Tuesday. If they carry home your logo, it sits on the kitchen counter and reminds them. The promo gets the first order. The bag gets the second.

Saturday mornings at the downtown market

The West Covina Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 195 S. Glendora Avenue, downtown. Certified growers sell there, and the same families come back week after week.

Four hours, one street, a crowd that walks slowly and looks at everything people are holding. That is the best kind of foot traffic for a printed bag. If you run a stall or a cafe close by, a bag with a bold mark turns every shopper into a sign that moves around the market for you.

Cart rules, in plain words

Selling from a cart in West Covina? You need a city business license, and if you sell food, an LA County health permit. You can sell from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. in commercial areas, but only 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in residential areas, where you have to keep moving. No selling in the street or a median, nowhere within 30 feet of a bus stop and nowhere within 1,000 feet of a public school.

Short stops mean fast handoffs. Open a stack of bags before you roll, keep them where you can grab one without looking, and drop each order in as soon as it's ready. Our bag stands up on its own with a 3.5″ gusset on each side, so you can load it with one hand.

What to print for a city this mixed

Pizza, sushi, cafe drinks, burgers. West Covina's featured spots alone cover a lot of ground. Whatever you sell, keep the design simple: one bold logo, one short line, and big enough to read across a parking lot. You get the full 12 × 14 in front, and the print costs $0 to set up.
