Almost a year after Sauce reported the coming opening of California Do-nut Co., owner Felinna Love announced on the shop’s Facebook page she will not open due for professional and personal reasons.
“While it is heart-aching to have to admit, I have come to terms with that fact that I am no longer in a position where I can take on the additional challenges and risks associated with opening a new business,” Love wrote in the post. “I am tremendously grateful for all of the support which friends, family, media and the local community poured out.”
Love intended to open California Do-Nut Co. at 2924 S. Jefferson Ave., in a space that once housed a doughnut shop by the same name, which the awning still displays. Love did not return requests for comment.
