In a bittersweet turn of events, the beloved Mister Donut in Greenhills bids farewell after serving the community for an impressive 42 years. The iconic establishment, known not only for its delectable treats but also as a cherished tambayan or hangout spot, is closing its doors due to the redevelopment of the Greenhills Shopping Center.
Since its establishment in 1982, Mister Donut has stood as a cornerstone of the Greenhills community, creating sweet moments and delightful memories for generations. Beyond being a mere bakery, it has evolved into a cherished gathering place, a hub of joy and camaraderie where families relish weekend breakfasts, and friends reconnect over coffee and delectable donuts.
As the news of the impending closure spread, loyal patrons flocked to Mister Donut to relive old memories and create new ones. The atmosphere was a mix of nostalgia and appreciation for the years of delightful service the establishment has provided. Regular customers shared stories of birthday celebrations, casual hangout sessions, lazy Sunday afternoons, and their usual mornings and afternoons spent savoring their favorite donuts and coffee.
Anne, a dedicated employee of nearly 10 years, expressed profound sadness over the closure, fondly reminiscing about loyal customers and their kindness. She recalled instances where some loyal patrons would occupy their usual spot and receive their regular orders. She also emphasized that they treated their customers like family, fostering a sense of connection from the morning group to the afternoon group, with a special mention of the elderly patrons who frequented the establishment.
On the other hand, despite the closure of the Greenhills branch, Mister Donut remains resilient and forward-looking. The brand is actively expanding its franchises and enhancing its menu, venturing beyond the traditional offerings of donuts and sandwiches. Notably, they have introduced additional options like pastas and rice meals, demonstrating a commitment to catering to a diverse range of tastes. Furthermore, there are plans to include additional drinks in their menu. Currently, these expanded offerings are available exclusively in selected branches, with aspirations for nationwide availability in the future.
In the wake of the closure announcement, Mister Donut’s management expressed deep gratitude to the Greenhills community for their unwavering support over the decades. They acknowledged the loyalty of their patrons and the significance of Mister Donut as not just a business but a communal space that became an integral part of people’s lives.
