Evergreen Mt. Hood delivers food from 16 restaurants.
Not to be confused with Hoodland Shuttle service, also new to the mountain, Evergreen Mt. Hood Delivery is in the business of delivering products, not transporting people.
Evergreen Mt. Hood Delivery is a locally owned and operated service that delivers restaurant takeout food, groceries and firewood to Mt. Hood residents and visitors. Opened since May, Evergreen has formed partnerships with most of the restaurants on the mountain.
“We currently deliver from 16 restaurants but we’re looking to expand to more,” said Evergreen’s entrepreneurial owner Kendra Wagner, who runs the business with co-owner and life partner Nick Kent. “We deliver most anything a restaurant offers, including beer and wine, plus to-go cocktails (limited to 2 per entree).”
Wagner has 20 years experience in the restaurant business and still works mornings at Chicali Cantina. So she knows her way around the local restaurant scene.
Evergreen delivery provides service to customers from as far west as Brightwood east to Government Camp. Some of the restaurants currently on board include the Glacier Public House, Mogul Mountain Pizza, Chicali Cantina, Pub 26, The Rendezvous Grill, and The Zig Zag Inn. Evergreen also delivers groceries from Dollar General in Welches and Govy General Store in Government Camp.
