"We could not be more fortunate, again, for the way this community has come around and kept this brand and run with it," The Holy Donut's co-owner and CEO, Jeff Buckwalter, told Business Insider. "When their friends, relatives, and family are vacationing here, we're one of the top two or three things to do in Maine."
The Holy Donut opened in 2012 and has since grown into a Maine institution, with five locations across the state. It makes between 6 and 7 million doughnuts each year, according to its co-owner and CEO. Making it as a small business isn't easy, but this doughnut shop in Maine may have found the recipe for success.
Despite it being a dreary day, customers were already lined up inside to grab their breakfast. The Holy Donut was dreamed up by single mother Leigh Kellis in her apartment kitchen. After trying multiple different recipes, including one from the iconic cookbook "Joy of Cooking", she found success with her unique potato doughnuts.
