Featured 2017 Sponsors:
Misty & Gary Young, owners of SQUEEZE IN, DOWNTOWN TRUCKEE, CALIFORNIA
The Squeeze In's History: In 1974, a tiny little kitchen started selling omelettes to locals and tourists in historic downtown Truckee California. At just 10 feet, 3 inches wide, and with only 39 seats, guests would literally have to ‘squeeze in’ to enjoy their breakfast at the little restaurant. As the list of omelette options grew, so did the popularity of the restaurant, and by the mid 80s it was considered a true Truckee institution.
In 2003 Gary and Misty Young purchased the Squeeze In and became restaurant folk. Since then, the business and family have grown, but the essence of the Squeeze In remains: great food, served by genuinely happy people in a super-fun environment, with a focus on community involvement. From our family to yours, welcome to the Squeeze In. We look forward to having the pleasure of serving you in Historic Downtown Truckee, Reno, and expanding to a town near you. http://www.squeezein.com
