[Question]
What inspired you to create The Local Donut?
[Answer]
Besides carrying on this long lineage and family history of donuts, there was this inspiration to tell our own story through donuts. The donuts, and the art itself is a vehicle. The journey of our lives and the families and people surrounding it, which includes everyone who supports it from the inside and out, IS what makes businesses like us great. We’re only on the surface level and early stages of telling this story. We’re excited to keep this journey going, to create, to show and create this culture as we want and know it should be.

[Question]
Is there any advice you could give to young entrepreneurs looking to start their own food business?
[Answer]
Do you. It’s cliche and said over and over again by all the greats in ANY industry. Whether it’s food, sports, music, directing, acting, comedy, etc… you have to find your own voice. Even if your voice or what you’re trying to do or say isn’t 100% you yet, and you feel like you’re still learning, just keep chipping away, faking it till you make it. You are the taste maker. You know what “tastes good.”

The Local Donut is located at 3213 N. Hayden Rd Scottsdale, AZ 85251
