On this Small Business Saturday, we are launching something Big!

The time has finally come for Rose Dough to grow beyond just pre-orders and pop-ups to become its own Specialty Donut Shoppe!!!

We have found a great spot that will allow us to operate on more days and offer walk-in service - but will need to build it out to a donut shoppe bakery - and part of that is a full suite of equipment, including a commercial cooking vent hood. This cost and installation is significant - but essential for us to make our donuts for you.

We are launching a Go Fund Me to help with the costs associated with the purchase and installation of the vent hood, which could be upwards of $75,000. We are using our own savings and applying for loans - and starting on this Small Business Saturday - asking for your help and support in this purchase that will help RDD blossom and grow.

As a Certified Women's Business Enterprise, I want to maintain 100% ownership and equity and I am not able to afford this project without financial assistance. I have established a brand and am already capturing demand for a product that's different than the mass-produced donuts in the market. Your contribution will enable us to operate within our own storefront to not only keep up with demand, but also grow the business and provide a benefit to the community through our continued support of the Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resources Center.

Your support will help us achieve our donut dreams and bring you the most delicious and beautiful small-batch donuts that you can’t find anywhere else in Columbus - using local, non-GMO or organic ingredients wherever possible, nothing artificial! Every dough, glaze and frosting is made by hand from carefully-selected ingredients to create the best donuts you've ever had.

Any bit helps - and if you aren't in the position to donate - even just a share or shoutout on social media will help us spread the word!

Hope to see you soon!
