The Donut Cooperative
Today, we ate donuts at a new place named The Donut Cooperative. I wish I had a picture of the fresh powdered cinnamon vegan donuts we devoured. Whenever these new restaurants open, Mykala and I joke that our visiting them condemns them to a horrible future of insolvency and closure. Thus far, I think we’re responsible for the closure of two bakeries and an Italian ice shop (shoppe).
I’m not usually thinking about that joke when we go in, but I almost inevitably start thinking about the costs for these shops (shoppes): did they spend too much on decorating, is their menu too large, are their hours appropriate, how may months of operating expenses can they cover with minimal income? It’s got to be tough for a new shop (shoppe) when people are preoccupied losing their jobs rather than finding new places to eat.
