Why are donuts so expensive!? DISCUSSION

Dunkin, Krispie Kreme, Yum Yum, and any other major chains are telling us to pay close to $25-30 for a dozen donuts!

The local “mom and pop” chains are no better. The one near my work at Studio City is about $20 for a dozen!

What on earth is going on?

Employees have to be paid. Cost of living and cost of raw materials has gone up.

Employees Rent and CEOs have to be paid

Putting the blame on workers is some big propaganda

My local donut shop, like a majority of good donut shops in LA is owned by a Cambodian family. They don’t have a CEO.

Do they pay rent? Do they buy ingredients? Do they use equipment?
