Philadelphia, Pa — Instead of heading for a front door, customers step out of a box truck owned and operated by William “Siddiq” Sanders.<\/p>\n
Sanders runs Nice Cutz, a fully outfitted mobile barbershop built inside a 16-foot-wide box truck. The space includes a shampoo sink, a television, hair products, and a large LED sign that flashes<\/p>\n
Sanders learned to cut hair as a teenager, but the idea for a mobile shop came during the pandemic. He said the shutdowns pushed him to rethink his business model.<\/p>\n
Regular customers know to find him at Broad and York streets in Philadelphia, and new clients often spot the brightly lit truck from the street.<\/p>\n
Beyond daily cuts, Sanders uses his mobility to serve the community.<\/p>\n
“I do go out and do events,” he said, adding that he participated in several school events and a fall carnival in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
As he works, the sounds of clippers and conversation fill the truck.<\/p>\n
For Sanders, the truck offers more than convenience – it creates a space for connection with every person who sits in his chair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Philadelphia, Pa — Instead of heading for a front door, customers step out of a box truck owned…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":261529,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[110779,76042,110780,245,110778,69,71,70,101471],"class_list":["post-261528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-barber-truck","tag-barbershop","tag-box-truck","tag-evergreen","tag-nice-cutz","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-william-siddiq-sanders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
