Cafe Donuts

Today's business feature on Community Corner brings us to Cafe Donuts here in Maple Grove. Taha Arana is here. He is the general manager and one of the people behind this business, but take us back to the start. How did the family get involved in donuts? Well, my family got involved back 20 years back, They pulled out of the market and we decided to go private. This is the center, . . Three locations, tell me where? We have three locations. Our main location is in Champlain and then our second location is in downtown Minneapolis and the third one, the most recent is this Maple Grove location, Alright, and again, it's right off County Road 30 in Dunkirk. Tell us a little bit about the name now. The name's a little deceiving related to what you have as far as products. What's the variety of things you sell here? I don't know, it's apart from the full range of more than 30 varieties of donuts, So we have a full range of varieties to offer to customers. Little bit of everything, not just busy in the morning, but as you see, busy here as well in the afternoon. Tell us a little bit about the competition then and why should I come here to buy my donut or ice cream as opposed to going anywhere else? There's lots of options out there. You must have a reason. Well, this is a place where you will find fresh donuts made from scratch every day. Competition is, there's not much donut shops around. Most of the convenience stores offer donuts, Alright, made right up at the Champlain Store and then brought down here to Maple Grove and also down here. Thank you very much for your time. Continue success with the business. If you want to stop by 9408 Duncurt Lane here in the city of Maple Grove and the website is CafeDonutsMN. com.
