I got the following email from my mom this morning. The bakery in Moose Lake, MN is for sale. I've got a soft spot in my heart for small town bakeries. The donuts are usually simple and good, and there always seems to be a troupe of regular customers sharing stories and drinking their coffee. I've stopped in here a small handful of times and was totally charmed. Fancy and gourmet donuts like are found at Mojo Monkey and Glam Doll are great, but there's just something about simple, tried and true donuts that is hard to beat. If we were ready for a complete change in lifestyle and Sarah or I had the first clue about running a business, we might consider it, but we aren't and we don't. I just hope someone does.
Here's the email from my mom.
$30K for all the equipment, training to do the baking, all recipes, sit-down area, established customers, better in summer. open 7-3 in summer, 7-noon in winter. They need to hear from someone about a sale by the end of the month! (Yikes) I talked to her People here don't know they plan to close this Saturday. Owner is 72 and his wife and he are sweeties! They live in town and are involved in the community.
Lindsey, you are an experienced cook, Aaron, you do a cooking blog and like doughnuts... Welllll? : )
Dean, Kari, Molly & Chris, Think about it. Or tell your friends this is a good gamble for an awesome home-town life. They have a posse of PT helpers already, who I'm sure want to continue with the job. I told her that I would send out some pix, so maybe I should put this on FB. What do you think?! Maybe pass this on to other people at Holden.
I am attaching photos for you to enjoy and be tempted. xxoo I know that I am tempted!!! If I didn't have a job waiting, I WOULD DO IT!!!
Burnell says he would put in the option of better coffee though, and maybe some snowshoes on the wall. Currently there are shelves with donated cookie jars from all over the town.
Mom
Anybody ready for their own personal culinary adventure?
