Death Cycle of the Heartland Doughnut Shop

Doughnut

Three signs of a dying donut shop (besides the alarming dearth of customers!) .

Sign 1 ...
The unmistakable vanilla scent that used to assail your nostrils as soon as you stepped out of the train station is a thing of the past

Sign 2 ...
The donuts, the former pastry elites, are now sharing the same shelves with the middle-class curry puffs and the errr... oily prawn cakes!

Sign 3 ...
Nothing foretells the end more than being bought over by the rival bakery shop ... and having to change names form the palatable 'munchy donut' to the unsavoury 'ananas donuts!

Polarbear, they are getting worse and getting less shelf space as we speak.

Louie, yeah, had to borrow the photo of better looking ones.

Souplad, they didn't smell that bad ...
