Food Trucks growing in popularity in Jackson

Once considered a rare sighting, the number of food trucks in Jackson has reached 33 – at last count.

“We’ve been in business about two years, and while there’s a great number of trucks, we all find our niche, and we have certainly found our niche,’ Charlie Finn said. “You can’t do what everyone else is doing.”

Charlie Finn and wife Kathy own KC Finn’s, which has not only found its niche, it’s also found a permanent home at 1027 South Highland Avenue, on 12.5 acres the couple purchased.

A few menu items include hamburgers, cheeseburgers, patty melts, barbecue and Philly cheesesteaks.

Business hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Shane Lee, the Environmental Health Field Office Manager at the Jackson-Madison County Health Department, said the units are treated like any restaurant.

“They are considered a mobile unit, just by definition, but a lot of them stay in one location,” Shane said. “We might have to call to do an inspection, because some units move around.”
