Donut shops are excellent for money laundering, tho

But is that technically making money in donuts and coffee, as posited by the original question?

i know the OP says that the commercial building was defunct, but do you know why whatever the last business was in that building failed? this might be good information to know to avoid making similar mistakes, whatever those might have been.

Maybe it was the coffee shop from the last time a goon tried this.

The entirety of your legacy will be when goons talk about failures, you'lls will get a sentence or two mentioned in passing as a cautionary tale of how stupid goons are, and how easily they all manage to gently caress up.

The one cool outcome to this would be if they fail so spectacularly that they get a shorthand moniker that everyone instantly recognizes without context, like the zipline goon or hotdog man. I don't think there's been a donut guy we can all name to instantly laugh at yet.

If you're serious, I'll do an effort post about making donuts when I have some time later. If anyone wants to know what the job is, anyway

Can we use this thread to talk about what sort of shops or businesses we would start with the gift of a free building and a TBI

A little breakfast sandwich shop, contract out for donuts and bagels but cook up all the eggs and meats fresh. Mostly because breakfast sandwiches rule, not because I want to stand in front of a hot griddle every day being stressed out as I pour money in to feed the flames.

Mostly this thread makes me angry because it keeps making me hungry for donuts, but the small local donut shop closed and I'm not about to debase myself by getting one from the grocery store.
With that in mind, I can point anyone who wants to move to a new location and sink money into an ill-advised venture towards an empty business location that still has a big donut logo on the front of the building

I wanna believe in you OP, but you scare me every time you start mentioning things like second locations and food trucks while being like 0.5% of the way to a first successful e: functioning location

Those donuts look fine, they just look like your typical homemade donuts which won't win a beauty contest but are perfectly fine. So, thanks for making me hungry for fresh donuts at 8PM on a Saturday night :arghfist:

Portland has an amazing food scene but when I tried Voodoo it felt a like a tourist trap. Adding cayenne pepper or Cap’n Crunch to donuts with no concern for taste only for novelty. Dunno if it’s gotten better as that was like 5 years ago but not a recommend.

That's what I was gonna say. I went there when I was in Portland for a conference and it seemed like the kind of place the locals would never go. Like, I'll just go somewhere with a regular Boston cream any day over that.

Sure, people drink instant coffee. People also yell at their pets and steal money from old folks. Let's not jump to too many conclusions about what's good based on things people do

If you plan to open at 5 am (why?) you will need to be there a lot earlier than 4:30 to make all the donuts, right?
