Use them for an emergency closure or a scheduled remodel, on short-term or long-term terms, with weekly and monthly options.

Local planning
Where Johnston projects usually start
1.Power at the site is limited
Our kitchens list 220V single-phase service at 200 to 220 amps. Have an electrician confirm what's available near the parking spot before you pick a size.
2.Crews will stay on site
Add shower and restroom trailers, a laundry trailer, or sleeper containers to the kitchen delivery so the whole site is planned at once.
3.The site entrance is tight
Send photos or a site plan. Long trailers need a clear turning path; we'll confirm the route and placement before the delivery date.
4.Your kitchen is closing for renovation
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Johnston and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
We also deliver to Ward and Trenton, so a multi-site operator can plan kitchens across the area on one set of terms.

Why choose us
Why food service teams choose Family Entertainment Group USA
When a kitchen goes offline, the meals don't stop. Patients still eat at noon, students still line up, and crews still need dinner. A working temporary kitchen, dish line, and cold storage keep that schedule intact while the permanent space is rebuilt or repaired.
Accelerated Deployment
We plan the trailer, route, and placement up front, which shortens the time from call to first meal.
24/7 Emergency Service
Breakdowns don't keep office hours, and neither does our phone.
End-to-End Project Support
From the first call to the last day on site, you have one contact for the rental.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Rent for a week, a month, or a long-term lease that follows your construction schedule.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Stainless interiors and commercial appliances sized for real meal counts, not events.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
We coordinate access, setup timing, and pickup so the work around the trailer keeps moving.
Why clients trust us
What you see is what we quote: a named trailer, its listed equipment, a starting monthly price, and a person on the phone any hour. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
In Johnston
Planning a kitchen rental in Johnston
Read these as what-if planning notes. They describe common situations, not customer stories.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
Water damage from a burst line can close a commercial kitchen without warning. A facility in Johnston could keep serving from a temporary kitchen trailer while the floor and walls are opened up.
2. Major construction
New construction on a campus often closes the old kitchen before the new one opens. A university in Johnston building a new dining hall could bridge the gap with a kitchen trailer rental and a dishwashing trailer.
3. Kitchen renovation
Replacing a dish room is a renovation too. A hospital near Ward could keep trays moving with a dishwashing trailer while the new machine is installed.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Johnston, South Carolina, the South Carolina Emergency Management Division and local emergency managers direct public relief logistics, staging areas, and road access. Our deliveries are separate private arrangements: we confirm the route, site entrance, and placement with you, and follow any access limits officials publish.
5. What a rental costs in Johnston
In Johnston, mobile kitchen trailers start from $4,995 a month, dishwashing trailers from $4,995, and refrigeration from $1,895, with weekly terms on request.
