Amy's Donuts opened a location in Spokane Valley on Nov. 1, 2018.
A few months after the lockdown started, they posted that they were facing hard times due to the pandemic. That post was shared nearly 2,000 times and had almost 400 comments. The next day, they completely sold out from pre-orders from community members who loved their donuts.
They responded to the support with another Facebook post.
"We love you Spokane #thankyouforthesupport," they wrote.
This time, they did not announce their closure ahead of time.
The shop served more than 120 creations, including donuts with cookies like Chips Ahoy and Nutter Butter, candy bars like Twix and Kit Kat, and cereals like Fruity Pebbles and Lucky Charms. Amy's even offered donuts smothered in bacon bits and cotton candy.
