    A few years ago my tv guilty pleasure were Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares and Bar Rescue, an impression I got from these shows is that many businesses these days seem to be opened on the idea of it being a hobby or something that the owner likes without the underlying idea that it is an actual business that requires a sh1t load of hard, non glamorous work.

    How are banks lending to this kind of endeavour.
    Obviously I wish anyone starting their own business well.
    An explosion in one particular field is not a long term industry.

    New Year resolutions may start to see donut shops offer less calorific creations.

    I see Aungier Danger has announced they are closing down. Is this fad over?

    Huckleberrys in Cork closed too. Yes it seems it is gone, mainly killed by Dunnes selling a dozen for a quarter of the price of those shops.

    Seen that earlier as well, they are to have some sort of proper announcement why.


    It's probably because there are too many donut shops around. They have taken locations in places with high rental costs and dont bake onsite either, so that's a kitchen somewhere they have to look after as well along with transport.

    Isn't there a big 24hour one opening in Blanch soon? They may have missed the boat.


    Krispy Kreme. They’ll do just fine!

    Wonder if you can keep the syringes stuck in the donuts, or would they think I'm a junkie? I wouldn't even bother going to these places - they epitomise the notions of people in this country.

    On the other hand, the donuts (doughnuts?) in Scally's Supervalu in Clonakilty - sweet jeesus

    the krispy kreme donuts are quite reasonably priced in the UK so i expect they will be similar here. £10 for a dozen. They are a mas market product not a hipster product.

    Anyone else think donuts are one of the least satisfying foods ever created?

    Too expensive they were and didn't taste great. Huckleberrys was very average I thought. I think you'll see Dunkin and Krispy Kreme enter the Irish market next.

    :cool:

    Was obvious really. They were opening everywhere. Reeds on Nassau Street had a counter, the convenience stores started selling them too. I did notice a few months ago that Aungier Danger was gone from Georges Street (this was down the road from their original location) and Baggot Street, although that one shared a shop with a post office.

    We seem to go mad for these things. The milkshake thing was the same.

    Just need to figure out the next one and get in and get out early.

    I reckon a Belgian waffle place could do well for a while :p

    Froyo and bubble waffles are the next ones.
    Cookie dough shops are another big one in america that will eventually be big here.

    Dunkin Donuts entered the Irish market before and failed.
