Award winning barbecue Donut truck to come to coming to downtown Seguin Seguin’s taste bud rescue By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Get ready to dial 9 Yum-Yum! That’s because an emergency vehicle will be rolling into town this Friday to manage all your 9-1-1 emergency DONUT needs. Whether it’s the traditional or fun flavored donuts or even strawberry cream cheese cinnamon rolls, the Hurts Donut Emergency Delivery Vehicle has been invited by Century 21 United D&D to set up shop this Friday at noon in its parking lot located next door to Taco Bell.
By Darren Dunn (Seguin) -- The Warehouse in downtown Seguin will soon become the Burnt Bean Co. restaurant. The city of Seguin is providing a loan that will help to bring the new restaurant to the downtown area. Seguin Main Street Director Kyle Kramm says they are working with Burnt Bean Co. to help them set up pits for their barbecue restaurant located at 108 S. Austin St. Kramm says this is exciting news for the downtown area. He says people have been clamoring for more restaurants to be located in the city’s downtown. “One of our top priorities has been dining establishments in downtown due to the fact that we have limited dining in downtown currently and it’s a top priority for the community.
Through a community vision survey. It was one of the most requested things was to have more dining establishments. On top of that, Seguin currently has over $40 million leakage in dining establishments so that means people are leaving Seguin to go out to eat. That’s $40 million that we are trying to recapture and so that’s what this program that we have tonight will hopefully help solve some of that leakage by offering a Chapter 3, an incentive agreement, to Burnt Bean Barbecue in the amount of $40,000,” said Kramm.
Helping to invite the popular donut truck to Seguin is Realtor Kristine Martinez. Martinez says after hearing that the food truck gives back to the communities that it serves, she knew that she had to bring the truck to Seguin with a portion of its proceeds benefiting the Seguin ISD.

Kramm describes the deal as a win-win for Burnt Bean Co., the city, and for local consumers who want more places to dine in Seguin. He says the business will have to pay this money back, but the city believe this is a good investment in the city’s future. See BURNT BEAN, page 3
