Columbus’ Golden Donut is coming back after 4 month hiatus. Latest on opening date
Golden Donuts has sat closed for nearly four months, but the Columbus doughnut shop was back for one day Friday.
Starting at 9 a.m., the 625 Manchester Expressway store was passing out free dozens of doughnuts to customers in celebration of National Donut Day. Workers passed out the entire supply, about 400 boxes, in only an hour.
The store is not yet open to the general public. Colt Miley, managing partner, said the store is undergoing renovations and will open in the coming weeks.
“We are getting ready to open back up the Golden Donut, which has always been a hometown favorite for Columbus. We’re hoping for a mid-July, maybe late July (opening) depending on construction and whatnot,” Miley told the Ledger-Enquirer.
The store will continue using Golden Donut’s original recipes, Miley said. Customers can follow the Golden Donut on Facebook for more updates on renovation progress, an exact opening date and giveaways leading up to the reopening.
Golden Donut suspended operations at its retail and production facility in January due to issues brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, the Ledger-Enquirer previously reported.
