Refrigerated rentals in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Jonesboro is a city in Craighead County, Arkansas, with about 83,300 residents. The city limits take in about 80.2 square miles, or roughly 1,039 residents per square mile. Jonesboro is the county seat of Craighead County. By Census estimates it is the 5th most populous of 501 incorporated places in Arkansas. Jonesboro is about 13 miles from Trumann and 19 miles from Paragould, which helps when a job spans more than one site.
Since 2020, Census estimates show the population growing by roughly 6.1%. The elevation is roughly 260 feet, which is worth knowing when you plan a placement area and drainage. In Arkansas, poultry and rice production and food distribution are regular reasons to rent refrigerated trailers or containers, from the Delta, the Ozarks, and the Ouachita Mountains. Typical Jonesboro rentals support hospitals, schools, grocers, distributors, caterers, and event venues. Arkansas sites can face severe-storm outages and winter ice storms, so we ask Jonesboro customers about power and backup plans early. Hilly terrain in the Ozarks and Ouachitas can shape trailer placement and delivery routes.
Call 888 385-5513 to confirm availability in Jonesboro. Emergency deployment is coordinated 24/7, and the estimated delivery window is 2 to 3 hours, with final timing set in your quote. Choose a refrigerated trailer or container, then add a mobile kitchen trailer or dishwashing trailer if the Jonesboro site also needs cooking or ware washing.

March Tornado Damaged Jonesboro Mall and Industrial Buildings
A tornado struck Jonesboro on March 28, 2020, developing north of Interstate 555 and west of Caraway Road. It damaged property near Caraway and Race Street, crossed the Mall at Turtle Creek and intensified as it approached Jonesboro Airport.
Several large industrial buildings suffered severe damage near the airport, and peak winds were estimated at 150 mph. For affected food businesses, protecting walk-in coolers and perishable stock would form part of the same recovery work as roofing and electrical repairs. The tornado weakened northeast of the city, with the last documented damage beyond Brookland.

InnovAsian Breaks Ground on a New Jonesboro Frozen-Food Plant
InnovAsian broke ground in Jonesboro on August 11, 2026, for a frozen-food manufacturing facility planned at more than $150 million. The 180,000-square-foot building in Craighead Technology Park is expected to create about 200 jobs. Company leaders joined state and local officials to mark the start of construction on the Asian-inspired meal producer's new Arkansas operation.
Frozen-food production puts cold storage at the center of the journey from prepared meals to distribution. InnovAsian said the facility would expand capacity, particularly for its multi-serve entrée products. The groundbreaking announcement targeted construction completion by the end of 2027 and production in early 2028, setting out a staged development rather than an immediate opening.

The city's event listing described a free, family-friendly gathering featuring the Kansas City Barbeque Society's Arkansas State BBQ Championship, food trucks and vendors. Dumpstaphunk and That Arena Rock Show were listed as the Friday and Saturday headliners.
A barbecue competition has plenty of work before the first serving: teams prepare ingredients, organize cooking schedules and arrange cold storage for raw meat. Around that competition, the festival's music and food stalls created a wider downtown outing. The two-day format let Jonesboro's event combine a focused cooking contest with an accessible public celebration.

Can you also serve Trumann and other nearby places?
Yes. Places such as Trumann (about 13 miles), Paragould (about 19 miles), and Walnut Ridge (about 24 miles) can be planned together with a Jonesboro rental, and the team can review one project that spans more than one address. Confirm each site's access, power, and dates in your quote.

Call 888 385-5513 any time. Emergency deployment is coordinated 24/7: share the Jonesboro address, the holding temperature, the quantity of product, and whether power is available, and the team will confirm the quickest workable option.

Do I need a permit to place a refrigerated trailer in Jonesboro?
Requirements depend on the exact site and the local jurisdiction, so check with Jonesboro's town or city office and Craighead County before dispatch. Unit dimensions, electrical needs, and placement details are shared with you to support that conversation, and any required approval stays your responsibility to confirm.
Should I choose a trailer or a container for my Jonesboro site?
Compare the stock you need to hold, the required temperature, the placement area, and door access. Trailers and containers are separate formats, and a mobile kitchen or dishwashing trailer can be reviewed alongside the refrigerated unit when the site also needs cooking or ware washing.
