Opening Date Announced for New Donut Shop in NW Rochester

A brand new donut shop is about ready to open its doors to the public in NW Rochester, Minnesota but it is NOT in a spot that you'd expect.

If you take a drive on 19th Street NW in Rochester, you'll notice quite a few newer places that have been built recently by the Rochester Athletic Club, including Collins Orthodontics at 2946 Jeremiah Ln NW.  (Get directions to Collins Orthodontics here.)  Not only are smiles being transformed at Collins Othrodontists but thanks to some delicious donuts, more kids are going to have a chance at those amazing smiles too!

Opening Date Announced for New Donut Shop in NW Rochester, Minnesota

if you've been a patient at Collins Orthodontics, you've already had a chance to try out and buy some donuts and the new shop in town called The Donut.  Now for the rest of us who don't have a need for braces right now, we had to find a way to sneak donuts from a friend that had access to The Donut.  That's all coming to an end though because the opening day for all was just announced!

"🍩🍩🍩🍩 ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!! 🍩🍩🍩🍩 (prolly gonna want to mark your calendars)
On MONDAY June 6 (7 am - 6 pm) The Donut will officially be open to the general PUBLIC!
And if you’re wondering what we’re all about - we sell gourmet mini donuts with unique sugar blends created by Master Chef finalist Shari Mukherjee and 100% of our proceeds support our Adopt-A-Shark program at Collins Orthodontics that gives free braces to pediatric cancer survivors. So come grab some donuts and pair it with a smoothie, coffee, lemonade or hot chocolate and enjoy something that Rochester has never seen before 🙂

Couple fun things for the day:
1 - First 50 customers get a free lemonade or coffee with a purchase of donuts!!
2 - Anyone who wears Collins or Braces Guy Swag (t-shirts, hats, fanny packs, etc.) will get a free lemonade or coffee with purchase of donuts (while supplies last)
3 - I will personally MATCH the final sales amount at the end of the day to donate towards our program for children cancer survivors!"

The Donut is more than just a delicious place to get donuts in Rochester, Minnesota

Knowing that a simple thing like eating a donut can help kids with cancer through the Adopt A Shark program at Collins Orthodontics...it means more to me than maybe most.

My little sister was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 10.  When you hear people say the financial struggle is tough when you have a loved one fighting cancer, well, I remember multiple garbage bags full of medical bill statements when my sister was fighting for her life. We were just trying to have food to eat and enough gas money to get to the appointments to help save her life.

But wait...that's not all that's happening at Collins Orthodontics!  Check out these wings!

New mural in Rochester, Minnesota has a purpose...and it is WAY bigger than getting great selfies!

I love all the art, especially the murals that are around Rochester, Minnesota.  We've got quite a few hidden in town but if you have a chance, go take a selfie at the "Wings of Hope" art outside of Collins Orthodontics.  Not only is this a fun place to grab a selfie but the purpose  - it's way bigger than just a great selfie.  You can read more about that here.

Although I can't go eat a donut every day or take a selfie, we can all help spread the love and help these kiddos and families out that have heard the word "cancer".  And taking a selfie is easy.  Another way to help these kids that are facing life-changing illnesses is to just share this story, and then your friend will see it and they will go take a selfie...and you can be part of this selife snowball that will help kids who are some of the bravest kiddos around.
