Florida Donut Shop Closes After Being Open for Just 3 Days
A new donut shop in South Florida has closed down after being open for only three days.
Dixie Highway Donuts was the brainchild of owner Sarah Callis, who has spent more than two decades in the donut-making business. On May 30, Callis hosted a soft opening at the shop located at 6108 S. Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach, with the grand opening scheduled for one week later.
The grand opening took place as scheduled last Friday, June 6, which was National Donut Day. However, on Monday, Callis posted a surprising social media message announcing that the business was closing after it had just opened.
'Dear Guests, [due] to a dissolution of partnership on grand opening day unfortunately we are no longer open. I am deeply saddened by this event. I apologize from the bottom of my heart," Callis said, via the Sun Sentinel.
All social media pages for the donut shop have been shut down as well. It appears that Callis had some kind of dispute with her business partner, who she referenced, but not by name, in an article with the Palm Beach Post before Dixie Highway Donuts opened.
The official website for the now defunct establishment remains up and running.
"Our bakers start work before the sun rises each day to ensure that every batch is as fresh as possible before it gets to you. The warm smell of baking often escapes onto the street before we've even opened," reads one portion of the homepage.
It's crazy that a fledgling business could disintegrate so quickly just because of a fight between owners, but things must have gotten crazy.
It's a shame for prospective customers, as the menu for Dixie Highway Donuts looked rather enticing.
