All the best donut places I know of are named after the owner. [Last Name]'s Donuts or maybe [Your Nickname]'s Donuts is probably sufficient.

If I went into a donut place called the sweet pea and the theme was on point inside I would like it, I would tell people about it too, probably. Like gardeny or something

Swee' Pea was the name of the baby in Popeye comics (yeah I'm old) I think that's why people use it as a baby name, or maybe that was first, I dunno


anyway it sounds very rural and quaint to me so if that's the vibe you're going for OK but I might consider putting the word "donut" or if you're fancy "doughnut" into the name so when people in your area google donut they'll get your store as a result and maybe not put the word "diner" in the name so when people are looking for a real diner to find some eggs and hash browns or a $12 hamburger they don't find themselves at a store that only sells donuts

Sweet Pea is a terrible name. Luckily, I don’t think it will decrease your chances for success, as they are already quite firmly at zero.

The donuts matter, the service matters, the efficiency & consistency of the business and who you hire matters. Call yourself sweet pea, asparagus, or The Planet Uranus it wont make a difference.

It makes a huge difference for helping people discover your business. Word of mouth is important but so is showing up when people search yelp or Google for donuts or coffee.

Yeah I think the biggest obstacle to success for this venture is... getting a catchy name.

I mean, given that you also haven’t settled on any type of business plan whatsoever this does then work for the donut shop.

OP have you tried getting a sandwich board that says “Donuts 4 Sail” and then selling them out of the pickup bed yet? Make some money, bootstrap your business up all the way to the top. Surely you could get one of those big gas station style coffee dispensers too, and sell that too!

Given the state of the building, I'm thinking something slightly creepy and Halloween themed? The Munsters, Chucky, Freddy Krueger, etc.
