As a small-business owner always on the go, Allison Guido was tired of ordering takeout. So, she decided to open Off the Trail. “Being a girl on the go, sometimes liquid lunch is all you have time for,” she says. “I always thought a smoothie shop would do well in town.” In 2019, she turned her idea into a reality when she opened Off the Trail, a smoothie and sandwich joint in the heart of Hellertown. But just as Guido’s dreams seemed to come to fruition, the pandemic had other plans. “It felt like the world halted,” she says. “It made me seriously reconsider if the universe was telling me that this was not a great idea. I am so happy that I decided to push forward.” By providing a relaxed counter service atmosphere and plenty of outdoor seating, Off the Trail has succeeded in becoming the new go-to lunch spot in town. “Obviously, my favorite part of Off the Trail is our smoothies, but we also have some basic açaí bowls and avocado toast,” says Guido. “Off the Trail really prides itself on buying from local vendors, suppliers and local farmers.”
