It wasn’t until the mid 80’s when Jim became independent and The Donut Man was born. Jim recalls sitting at dinner with some friends discussing his need to choose a new name for the newly independent donut shop. As they were getting up to leave, a little girl said “Look, it’s the donut man!” At that moment Jim became The Donut Man.
