"Despite a Krispy Kreme across the street, this small family-run doughnut shop has packed drive-thru lines (sometimes ten cars deep) and is making double its usual amount of doughnuts on weekends, occasionally selling out well before the 8 p.m. close; co-owned by Douglas Hem with his sister Stephanie and their mom Susie, the shop’s prior investments in a drive-thru and DoorDash, plus 32,000 hyper-local Instagram followers, helped it adapt quickly, and people buying dozens of doughnuts to bring to hospitals underline how its treats provide comforting reminders of normal life." - Illyanna Maisonet
