Scurlock's Donuts To Open Downtown

Mark Scurlock celebrated the grand opening of his new downtown Jackson location this morning.

Local breakfast hero Mark Scurlock is opening a second location for his donut shop, Scurlock's Donuts, in the heart of downtown Jackson. Beginning the last week of August, the un-sugared masses downtown will be able to get their fix on the ground floor of the Capitol Towers, at the corner of Congress and Pearl Streets.

"Downtown is doing well and they don't have a bakery, as far as a breakfast place, in that area," Scurlock said. "We think we can be an asset to that part of town."

Like its current location on Robinson Road, the new downtown branch will serve a full breakfast—eggs, grits and bacon—along with Scurlock's earth-shakingly delicious donuts. Thanks to its placement on the corner of Congress and Pearl Streets, the downtown Scurlock's will have outdoor as well as indoor table seating.

The expansion is a sign that Scurlock's 20-year-old business is thriving, even in tough times.

"We were able to open up in a bad recession, so that's not so bad," Scurlock said.
