The Happy Donut
The "Hole"Story
The Happy Donut opened January 14, 2008. Owners Ray and Kathy Roden opened the store with their Daughter Paulette and Son-In- Law Brian. The Happy Donut name came from Brian and Paulette's son Elias who also named their dog (Flowergirl), but they liked the name and it stuck.
Ray, Kathy, Paulette and Brian searched high and low for the best donut flour mix and finally found what we feel (and our customers agree) is a far superior product. It was Daylight Donut Flour Co. out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. We signed a license agreement with them and we were in business. The Happy Donut is the only donut shop in the Northwest currently licensed by Daylight Donut Flour Company.
The Happy Donut is usually a four man crew. Brian and employee Carrie Mosher do all the baking. They start around 11pm. Donuts if you don't know, are a long process. From start to finish, a raised donut takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes. So they are hard at work, while others are dreaming of our donuts. Ray and Paulette run the counter and do the books for the shop. When Kathy is in town, she is the official greeter. She also helps with cleaning chores and promotional events. Brian is also our wholesale manager. Right now we currently have about 10 big accounts we deliver to in the area daily.
The Happy Donut is well known in the area for our Fritters, "Conquer the Fritter, "Free Fritter Friday," Our Signature Baked Sausage Rolls and our NEW Blueberry Donut Holes.
FRESH DONUTS DAILY is something that The Happy Donut takes great pride in. So come in enjoy, and eat with family!!
Thank you for your continued support!!
