The twist is that the customers are the canine companions to those in line, and the food available at this truck is for dogs. While Woofbowl travels nationwide to pop-up events and dog-centric parties, the company has roots in<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/pumpkin-patch-northern-virginia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Northern Virginia<\/a>. Founders Ron and Solo Holloway launched the popular truck here in Northern Virginia. <em>The Fairfax Girl<\/em> chatted with Ron and Solo to learn more about their journey to being dog food denizens, their Northern Virginia connections, and more. <strong>Read on for more with Ron and Solo Holloway of Woofbowl.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-225194\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_cover_FI-800x533.png\" alt=\"woofbowl cover image\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_cover_FI-800x533.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_cover_FI-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_cover_FI-585x390.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_cover_FI-263x175.png 263w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_cover_FI.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>The Backstory<\/h3>\n<p>Ron and Solo Holloway\u2019s story may sound familiar to anyone who has been in the Northern Virginia area long enough. Ron, a Navy veteran, and his wife, Solo, moved to the DC area when Ron got a job with the government. They share a love of exploration, travel, learning, and dogs. They adopted French bulldogs Latto and Dino as a way to support Ron\u2019s PTSD. Over time, Solo began thinking that the standard kibble their dogs were eating wasn\u2019t the best possible thing for them.<\/p>\n<p>Solo, an electrical and biochemical engineer, started experimenting with different foods, including human-grade ingredients. Solo and Ron were thrilled with the positive changes they observed in their dogs and their health. What started as a \u2018one day\u2019 conversation about opening a dog food business is now the reality of Woofbowl.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-225145\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_combo_meal_1-800x800.png\" alt=\"'dog food' from the woofbowl truck \" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_combo_meal_1-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_combo_meal_1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_combo_meal_1-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_combo_meal_1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_combo_meal_1-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_combo_meal_1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>A Woofbowl combo meal.

The journey wasn\u2019t without its hiccups: the initial investment they made in the truck was stolen by an unscrupulous contractor. In addition to the financial hit, it took several more months to get the truck up and running. And then 2020 came, and everything changed.<\/p>\n<p>By this point, both Ron and Solo had left their careers to work on Woofbowl full-time. They took Woofbowl on the road, traveling across the country and back in the van, and working at different commercial kitchens along the way. \u201cWe felt it was an opportunity to really explore,\u201d Ron said. \u201cLife is short so we want to make the most of it.\u201d They made their way back to the East Coast and settled in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<h3>Van Life Meets Food Truck<\/h3>\n<p>Ron, Solo, the dogs, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywoofbowl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the truck<\/a> found a nice rhythm in the NYC metro area, doing pop-ups in different neighborhoods and at private events. \u201cWe figured that the saying was true &#8211; if we could make it in New York, we could make it anywhere,\u201d Ron said. They also came back to Northern Virginia and the DC metro area from time to time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/clothesline-arlington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This Arlington Non-profit Gives Kids Clothes a Second Life<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, they say that they\u2019ve really hit the sweet spot. The truck has been a great entry point to exploring different parts of the country and meeting all kinds of people. And the people are what make the effort worth it, according to Ron. \u201cWe have the best customer base,\u201d he said. \u201cI know everyone says that, but it\u2019s true. People who come to the truck are all like-minded in that they really care for dogs and want to take good care of them. We\u2019ve seen such an incredible community grow amongst our customers. We\u2019ve even had people meet in line who are now married, or have become friends and traveled together. People come and they\u2019re showing us their kids who are growing, their dogs, if they get a new dog, it\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-225147\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_patrons_1-800x800.png\" alt=\"patrons line up at the woofbowl truck\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_patrons_1-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_patrons_1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_patrons_1-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_patrons_1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_patrons_1-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woof_bowl_patrons_1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Patrons queue to place their orders at the Woofbowl truck.

To me, the truck creates an atmosphere like the bar on Cheers, or Central Perk on Friends, where there is real camaraderie,\u201d he said. These connections have led to Woofbowl being invited to partner with different nonprofit organizations and animal rescue groups. \u201cI smile sometimes because it&#8217;s like, wow, we created something and it&#8217;s having an effect on thousands of people,\u201d Ron said. \u201cSo many people tell us that they wouldn\u2019t have heard of such-and-such organization if it weren\u2019t for a connection they made at the truck, or met this person,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEspecially in Northern Virginia, people are really selfless,\u201d Ron said. \u201cIt takes a special person to get in the car or get on the train and decide they\u2019re going to make the effort to get their dog this food. It says a lot about the kind of person you are to do that for your dog.\u201d Ron said that every time he sees happy customers, return customers, or even meets a new customer, he feels like all their hard work is coming back to them. \u201cIt\u2019s a really special feeling,\u201d he said. \u201cIt means we\u2019re connecting with the right people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-225148\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_up_tray_1-800x800.png\" alt=\"a dog enjoys a meal from the woofbowl truck \" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_up_tray_1-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_up_tray_1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_up_tray_1-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_up_tray_1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_up_tray_1-585x585.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/woofbowl_up_tray_1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>A well-behaved pup is enjoying his Woofbowl meal.
