re: I don't understand how donut shops stay in business

If you can turn out a consistent product and are open when people buy donuts (the morning) and you are in a convenient location, I'd imagine a donut shop to be a very good investment opportunity.

Had a guy out in N.O. East that had a stand-alone building in the parking lot of a Winn-Dixie when they had one on Michoud and Chef Hwy. The building was not much bigger than your typical sno-ball stand and the guy would get there around 4 a.m. and start making donuts.

By 11 a.m. he was closed for the day and had sold all his inventory. He seemed to do well for himself, but did work that little shop 6 days a week, only closed on Monday.
