Glory Hole Doughnuts Announces Major Changes, But Not an Immediate Closure
Toronto’s Glory Hole Doughnuts closure is coming, but not just yet. After 14 successful years, the Parkdale location will shut down in about three months. The Gerrard Street East shop, however, will stay open and take on a new identity through a rebrand.
This news comes after some confusion, with many fans believing the business was shutting down immediately. The team clarified that they’re not closing just yet, and there’s still time to visit before the change happens.
Glory Hole Doughnuts
Founded in 2011, Glory Hole Doughnuts quickly became a local favourite. Known for its unique and handmade donuts, the shop stood out with flavours like cinnamon toast, lemon meringue, and s’mores. It gained a loyal following thanks to its creative takes on a classic treat, along with a commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
The Parkdale location was the original, where it all began. The shop became a must-visit destination for donut lovers, but now, after 14 years, it’s time to say goodbye.
What’s Changing and What’s Staying
- Parkdale Shop: Will close in three months.
- Gerrard Location: This shop will stay open but will be rebranded into something new.
- Business Continuity: The team remains active, and both locations are still open for now.
The team has assured fans that while the Parkdale shop is closing, it’s not the end of Glory Hole Doughnuts. The Gerrard location is going through a rebrand, with a fresh look and a new concept. The specifics of the rebrand haven’t been revealed yet, but the team is excited about what’s coming next.
What Fans Are Saying
As the news spread, many fans expressed their relief that they still have time to enjoy their favourite donuts. One fan commented on social media, “I’m sad to see Parkdale go, but I’m excited to see what the team does with the new concept.”
Others mentioned how much Glory Hole has meant to them over the years. “It’s not just about the donuts; it’s the vibe and the creativity that made it special,” said another customer.
Looking Ahead
While the Glory Hole Doughnuts closure affects the Parkdale location, the Gerrard Street shop is set for a fresh start. Fans can look forward to a new look, but the familiar creativity and quality will still be there.
Even though things are changing, the Glory Hole Doughnuts team assures fans that this is just a new chapter for the business. While we wait for more details, fans can continue to grab their favourite treats from both locations before the Parkdale shop closes for good.
