The Hard Facts Concerning Opening a Donut Shop

A good friend of mine, Harold Gardner and I once had a pie in the sky idea and contemplated opening a donut shop. After years of discussion and planning we decided it would not be a wise thing to do.


The first problem we encountered was the fact that it would take a lot of dough,a lot more dough than any one could possibly raise.
No doubt, one could make a lot of bread, however one mistake in judgment and heads could roll.
Being this was in the late 60s we even talked of hiring a rock band, "The Danish Twist" to entertain the patrons while they dined, wanting to be successful, we thought that would put the icing on the cake.

However we were having trouble finding anyone crusty enough to be willing to invest in our pastry pleasures. Every one was afraid we were going to lay an egg.

After much discussion the project was scrapped as we just didn't want to go in the hole. There were just more problems than any one would kneed. It just wouldn't pan out.
