Donut Connection reopens under nonprofit leadership
Donut Connection in Butler has reopened under new management and is making more than just doughnuts.
The Nonprofit Development Corporation of Butler bought the shop in December from longtime owner Karen Stockburger, whose mother started the business 38 years ago, and held a soft reopening Friday before Saturday's official opening.
In addition to making doughnuts using the Stockburger's original recipe, the shop will provide hands-on training and retail experience to culinary students at the Butler County Vocational-Technical School and the profits left after bills and wages are paid will help fund the NDC's work in the community, said Mike Robb, NDC executive director.
