Rolling Doughnut Announces Closure

MIDDLETOWN, CT — Bad news for doughnut lovers in the Middletown area; The Rolling Doughnut will close in two weeks.

Owner Scott Gordon announced on Facebook that his family has decided to move out of state. The company launched about two years ago and became a hit in Middletown with its roving doughnut trailer.

The Rolling Doughnut features a changing lineup of delicious gourmet doughnut flavors.

Rolling Doughnut will be at Perkatory Roasters for the next two weekends and doughnuts will last be available on May 19.

"Along the way we've met a LOT of really cool people, some of which we are honored to say have become our friends as well. ... This is a bittersweet announcement, we have met so many great people who not only supported our business but stuck by us when equipment or weather got in the way, ... and we will forever be grateful! But at the same time, you need to be where you feel is home and for us it simply is just not here anymore....Thank you everyone! Scott the "Doughnut Guy."

Patrons of The Rolling Doughnut expressed sadness over the decision.

"I have enjoyed getting to know you and your family, and eating the best doughnuts ever!!!!! You will be missed!!"

"Oh Scott, sorry to see you leave. You’re a good guy, with a consistently beautiful product! The Apple Pie doughnut was the absolute best Apple Pie I’ve ever had and will not be forgotten as your careful display of all flavors was always an exciting experience! If the move was in your gut instinct then you must honor it. Good Luck to you and your family and take care."
