Our Latest Project

This website is devoted to our fledgling donut business.  My partner and I have been to California (more specifically San Francisco and the Santa Clara Valley area) off and on for a few years...  On our travels there we noticed a mini donut shop on Pier 39 that (unlike other shops on the pier) has remained open.  We could not believe how "nuts" people were going over these simple pastries.  We vowed to look into it but actually, like so many things that intrigue us, never did anything about it.  It was not until a recent trip with our other partners that the subject was brought up again.  It came up after noticing a  donut shop on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.  They were not the mini donuts that we saw on Pier 39 in San Francisco,  they were large with a choice of several fillings.

We liked the simplicity of the mini donuts,  they basically came in 3 varieties: plain, sugar and cinnamon.   This is our first venture as a company into anything food related.  I have never heard anything positive about going into the food industry, but we feel this is entirely different.

I have been in several different business ventures and always thought it would be interesting to log everything from conception to success or failure..  what we did, who we called, every detail that made the business a reality.   When I see a business,  I often think to myself how insanely interesting it would be if they blogged about nothing else but their business, and with a lot of detail.   How exactly was the idea concieved, who they called, was it a success or failure.. when did they decide to call it quits and why...  and everything in between.  Of course, I am not going to be giving away this information for free....  This is going to be a private website for a long time until something comes of it....  but I can assure you, we are going to follow through until we determine whether it is worthwhile for our company to pursue.   We are currently in the research phase and will be posting our findings...   I am going to expose everything on this website that we do.....   I already told you about how we conceived the idea.. I always thought it would be interesting to follow a business owner from the time they first had the idea to the time they could make it on their own or close up shop.  Either way,  it would be interesting.  Readers now have the opportunity to do just that.  They can follow us from conception and see what happens.  I will hold nothing back...  Think of it as kind of a "reality show"....  but on the internet and in blog format.    Again,  many parts of this website will be private and only accessible to investors and company members.    I will decide at some point when to release everything unedited to the public.  But for now, readers of this blog will only read what we want them to know.  Here we go... so many projects and not enough time.

**EDIT**

I have recieved a couple of emails from those who "think" they are language elitists or experts arguing that I have not spelled donut correctly in my domain.  I assure you that it is a common and accepted spelling,  but for those that are bothered,  I have also the domain mydoughnutbusiness.com with the "other" spelling.   It is not live at the time of this post.
