Since it is so close to the holiday season, I decided to post about a business that produces some pretty awesome sugary treats: donuts. Glam Doll Donuts is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and produces hand-crafted donuts, with new flavors and a pin-up girl aesthetic. The two girls who created this business, Arwyn Birch and Teresa Fox, had been friends for 25 years and were inspired by the new type of doughnuts based on past restaurant jobs.
The doughnut shop has classic flavors, such as maple bacon donuts, but they add other unique and “pin-up” style flavors as well, such as spiced Mexican chocolate donuts and cayenne pecan bombshell doughnut. What is unique about this business is how the owners have added different twists to the doughnuts, but have capitalized on a pin-up aesthetic. They even sell vegan doughnuts! The business sells their own coffee as well. This is an example of a business where the atmosphere is just as apart of the actual product.
In 2014, Glam Doll Donuts was listed as one of the best Donut Shops in America by Thrillist. If anyone is ever in Minnesota, this is clearly a cool place to check out.
This is such a cute donut shop! I love that they took something that could just be average and plain, and made it an entire experience.
I think this is a really good idea! In the bakery industry it can be hard to differentiate yourself because there are so many different business that make similar treats. Glam Doll Donuts I think does a good job at making themselves unique and creating different types of donuts.
This is such a clever idea to differentiate a donut shop in an industry that is fairly saturated. The experience is just as important as the product..This donut shop is adorable!
