All of this presumes simply paying the normal minimum wage, not whatever weird social program you are envisioning.

I enjoyed reading this. OP should reach out to the author: I'm sure either way it'll be an enjoyable article.

I�m lead bidder on a 40 quart mixer.

As far as having a standout product: the distributor sells different grades of mix and the premium stuff tastes much nicer. I can also dress them up with captain crunch or whatever to make them a bit more distinctive.

Actual doughnuts are much newer to me but I know that the real profit margins are there. It costs a quarter to make a cake donut and like a dime to make a classic raised glazed. I also personally prefer yeast doughnuts and I�m more interested in mastering their craft.

I think $2 or $20/dz will make money on the donuts I gently caress around with so long as I gently caress around expeditiously.

I think $1 for a raised glazed won�t bankrupt me.

When do you think you're going to open/start selling donuts?

Imma be honest I�m no longer convinced this is real.

Which makes it less fun.

Same. It was fun to dream though!

In the highly unlikely case it�s not a troll: absolute best case he opens some sad hole-in-the-wall coffee and donut place (using one of those machines you see at like a county fair or farmers market) with a bare concrete floor and some sad signage out front that has irregular hours and products worse than you can get at the convenience store down the road.

Don't do this. Don't give us hope like this.

Who would have thought that 20 years after spending $10 to stop sharing a Something Awful account, I'd be posting in a thread about a (probably) doomed coffee shop in Ohio.

I wonder what high school me would think of me now.

This would have been a good post a few years ago but Blue Star went bankrupt, closed many of their locations, and now does most of their business in grocery stores.

You know, like several people here suggested, and would make sense, if you weren't mostly just looking for a problem you could use your empty building as a solution to.

Oh heh, I was going to be impressed it was still going because I remember going there in 2015 or so.

My favorite donut place in denver is run by this couple that makes absolutely incredible donuts.

Apparently the model is that some rich guy fronts the money to build a donut shop and lets the �owners� run it, who then have the option of buying it out, presumably when he�s remade his money?

Opening up five new locations apparently. The owners of the place I go to aren�t thrilled.

Made some rainbow bagels the other day for a work thing. My bagel forming skills need work but they came out pretty good and were really tasty. The everything flavored ones went fast, should have made more of them:

What they look like when you cut them in half:

I'll take a half dozen. Are you selling?
