Doughnut Shop

The owners of our local doughnut shop, The Moose Is Loose, have announced that they are looking to sell their business so they can retire. The store is a crowded wonder that sells doughnuts of a quality that I have not experienced since Ginny May Donuts--the family doughnut shop founded by my grandparents--was still in business. There is nothing that compares with this place on the peninsula, and perhaps in the state.

While I am hoping that an enterprising individual or group decides to take up the mantle and continue on with this unique and wonderful business, I partially want that individual to be me. Sure, I never got the chance to work at Ginny May's, I don't know anything about running a business, and I have no experience in making doughnuts. However, I also feel that doughnut shops are a lost legacy of my family--a birthright that lies unclaimed. I very nearly emailed the owners to find out the specifics about the sale.

It's not a good idea. Not only am I short of the necessary funds and lacking in the experience necessary, a doughnut shop would not be the best place for a type ii diabetic to own. Also, there were valid reasons why my family got out of the business.

Still, I pray that someone purchases and continues the business as it has been run.
