Part 10/10:
All faces of the doughnut business—be it major leagues like Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ or niche artisanal shops like Makiko and Lola’s—highlight the tension between tradition and innovation. While chains depend on established brand loyalty and production capabilities to maintain their market position, local shops emphasize unique flavors, greater quality, and customer experience to carve out their space within this thriving landscape.
In this industry, success hinges not only on passion and product quality but also on adaptability, market understanding, and efficient business practices. As the battle continues between these two paradigms, consumers benefit from an increasingly diverse range of doughnut offerings that reflect both creativity and tradition.
