The hot dog stand next to Vesturbæjarlaug swimming pool will be transformed into a gourmet food truck by May. The new manager is Ólafur Örn Ólafsson, known for managing Michelin star restaurant Dill and food market Krás in the city centre. 

Owners are Rakel Þórhallsdóttir owner of Súpubarinn and her husband Jóhann Guðlaugsson who owns the Geysir stores. 

"The menu is being developed by Ólafur Örn Ólafsson and you can see his progress on social media under "Hagavagninn".  

Hagavagninn's speciality will be gourmet hamburgers, perfect for people that are hungry after a refreshing trip to the pool.
