HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Jason Younger with Hutchinson Daylight Donuts announced Monday that their Main Street location will reopen March 22.
"We just really wanted to completely remodel the shop," Younger said. "Instead of a little scrubbing and a little painting, we did a full remodel. Got some new equipment and equipment takes a while to get right now. A little later than we hoped to open, but this will get us past spring break, we'll have a full staff and we'll be ready to go with the new equipment. Main Street Daylight Donuts will be very similar to 30th Street Daylight Donuts in that, now we'll be able to produce more donuts here at 305 North Main. We'll be able to produce a better selection. It's going to be just a great experience down here now. We're excited about it."
They had to do some hiring to staff the new location.
"We have really low turnover," Younger said. "That's maybe because we're serving donuts every morning. I think if you go to any job and they are serving donuts every morning that probably helps. Great staff has been in place for quite a while. We did hire more. I think we added four or five new people for the Main Street Daylight. They've already been employed by us. They've been training and getting up to speed. Part of it will be splitting our staff into two teams, plus the additional staff. That will really give us a nice, full staff at both locations."
Each location will make its own donuts.
"Honestly, any time you put the donut in a box and transport it, it just loses that freshness." Younger said. "We wanted them to come out hot and fresh made from scratch every day. We went with two full kitchens that can really handle high production and make sure we're cranking out high quality donuts in both locations."
The hours will vary between the locations.
"305 North Main will be open Tuesday through Saturday 5 a.m. to Noon," Younger said. "We are going to be closed down here, just so that half of our staff has a Sunday off. Then we can kind of rotate our staff and give people an opportunity to have a Sunday off. Monday is the slowest day of the week and so, I think the one store can handle the Monday traffic. Up on 30th, we'll remain open seven days a week."
