ABOUT THE LEAN DONUT SHOP
The Lean Donut Shop is a reallife company (aka The Donut Theory, https://thedonuttheory.com) that was birthed in 2020 in the middle fo the COVID19 pandemic. Starting in a home kitchen, the business took off! It has grown into a temporary shared commercial kitchen and a 1947 Ford Half Ton mobile donut truck, and will soon set up shop in its very own storefront.
