This long-established donut shop has served its community for decades and is known for donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee. The business benefits from a loyal repeat customer base, consistent wholesale and institutional accounts, and experienced staff in place. Operations are structured and documented, making this an attractive opportunity for an owner-operator or a buyer seeking a staffed, process-driven food business.
The shop operates Tuesday through Sunday, with Mondays intentionally closed based on historical demand. Revenue is driven by strong morning traffic, habitual purchasing patterns, and recurring bulk orders from established customers.

Operations & Transferability
The business operates with clearly defined roles and standardized procedures:
• Written and standardized recipes
• Hands-on training for new employees
• Daytime manager and experienced bakers in place
• Kitchen and evening operations run independently
• Predictable scheduling, ordering, and inventory routines
The business continues to operate smoothly when an owner is unavailable, supported by management and experienced staff. A new owner could further reduce day-to-day involvement by delegating additional tasks to trained employees.
