Owners Of Makers Donuts To Have Last Weekend Of Business In Knox County After Years Of Service
"My husband and I love starting things and that's where we thrive and where our strengths are. So, we kind of came to year two of being open and we just decided it would be best to let somebody that loves managing and growing a business run it so that we could start some other projects," said co-owner Sara Alsobrooks.
The donut shop will be open Friday night form 8 p.m. - 11 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. - 1 p.m.
"We are trying to keep as many donuts in stock as we can and are making them as fast as we can. We have so many sweet customers coming to say goodbye and coming to get their last donuts before we sell so we are so excited. We have meetings with potential buyers and have had people reach out to us that we think will be great for the business and the city," said Alsobrooks.
Alsobrooks says it will be up to the new owners if they want to stay in the same location. But, she says Makers continues with plans to open a location inside the new downtown Embassy Suites next January.
"Our customers are so faithful and loyal to us and we are so thankful and we've gotten the sweetest messages and we just thank everyone for supporting us in this dream and making it happen," she said.
