About Mini… The Dough-Nut
The Story of Mini
Yes, I’m proud to admit that I am one of the few true Seattlite’s still residing in the Seattle area. I grew up in time where Boeing was the main thing going, kids played outside all day while towing that wooden hyrdo plane behind their bikes with playing cards in their spokes to create that dirt bike sound.
As far back as I can remember, the mini donuts served at the Pike Place Market were my first introduction to mini donuts. The grease stained brown paper bag and the long lines intertwined with the fish throwing crowd will forever be implanted in my memory. Back then, parking was a little more relaxed, so often times I’d park not too far from the gum wall and run up the alley only to stand in line dodging the flying salmon. They only offered a few flavors back then but no one ever complained, as long as they were freshly made.
I was an actor for many years so I never thought of running my own business. It wasnt until I turned 40 and had my first child that I realized that pounding the pavement for the next audition wasn’t the most secure way to buy Huggies. I had an idea to expand on my beloved Pike Place mini donuts I grew up on by offering more options. I thought of a funny name based on word play and have been coming up with endless ideas ever since. My goal was to create, and I want customer’s to create too. I wanted the customer’s to have a new experience everytime they come to Mini… The Dough-Nut, to share, and embellish the love for sweet dough.
I appreciate all who genuinely love us and who were influenced by us. I appreciate all who “Love The Dough More Than You Know” and those who are not afraid to
