(WXYZ) — The building that was home to Dutch Girl Donuts in Northwest Detroit is up for sale, according to a Facebook post from the shop.
Located along Woodward Ave. just south of 7 Mile, Dutch Girl Donuts had been around since the late 1940s and moved to the current location in 1950.
They closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but had reopened in September 2020. However, they closed again in September 2021 due to a staffing shortage, and have not yet reopened.
Just a few weeks after they closed, Gene Timmer, the owner of the beloved donut shop, passed away from complications due to cancer. He was 75 years old.
