JACKSON COUNTY — In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, food trucks have become a popular eating option in Jackson County.

Local offerings include barbecue and ice cream, chicken sandwiches, specialty burgers and tacos, breakfast burritos, paninis and homemade desserts.

Now, residents of Seymour, Brownstown and Crothersville can add doughnuts to that list.

Donut Central Mobile Command is the newest addition to the growing list of food truck vendors serving the area.

With its main bakery at 1504 Central Ave. in Columbus, Donut Central launched its doughnut truck in February to offer its products to customers in neighboring communities.

“Word of our doughnut shop has spread to many communities that surround Columbus, and we have heard many ask us to come to their towns,” said Donut Central co-owner Norma McLeod.

The teal truck parks at various locations from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday to sell unique specialty doughnuts along with classic glazed yeast doughnuts and cream- and jelly-filled bismarcks. Coffee and other drink options also can be purchased from the truck.
