Cops & Doughnuts of Clare, Michigan,
which opened on July 1 is poised to push Psycho Donuts of
Campbell, California off the news radar. Cops & Doughnuts,
according to an AP story, is owned by nine full-time
employees of the Clare, Michigan police department. The AP
story went on to say: The newly renamed bakery opened
Wednesday, offering doughnuts, cookies, muffins,
brownies and bread. It also has mugs and T-shirts
bearing the “Cops & Doughnuts, 100 Percent Cop-Owned”
logo, and phrases including “You Have the Right to
Remain Glazed” and “Handcuffs and Cream Puffs.”
Officer Al White says the officers
were concerned when the Clare City Bakery’s owners
decided to throw in the towel. The 113-year-old bakery
would have become the sixth empty storefront in Clare’s
three-block downtown.
