What has been the biggest surprise of your success with Hurts Donut Company?<\/p>\n<p>Tim: I think that the biggest surprise for us was the consumer response back to our concept.

We did our homework, we did a lot of research on making donuts so just out of the gate the consumer response to our concept, and branding has been phenomenal. It has allowed us to experience rapid growth and great success in a field that is typically identified for a retirement position, a retirement job and so we feel like we have revolutionized the way people think about donuts and the access to them being 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/bryanu.edu\/blog\/dollars-to-donuts-growth\/\">Dollars to Donuts \u2013 Growth<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love donuts?
