The Brief
- Arthur Mac’s Big Snack is opening its third and largest location in downtown Hayward, featuring a restored 1990s Class A BART train car.
- The project took four years to complete and saw costs balloon from $1.2 million to $2 million due to the complexities of moving the 65,000-pound car.
- Owners plan to sell their Oakland location to help fund the new venture, which is expected to open this fall.
