Mini Doughnuts Stand, older BI-LO shopping center: 1990s






While at the older BI-LO shopping center to take pictures of the old Family Dollar and pawn store, I decided to also snap some pictures of this old food stand. I don't believe it has been used for many years. In the 1990s, I remember this being where the mini doughnut man would sell his delicious confections, though I don't really recall ever seeing him in the stand at any point; I only remember there being a sign. I've never known the man's name, but for as long as I can remember, he has almost always been at the Spring Festival selling his doughnuts. And he was at the Spring Festival this year too, thankfully.

Someone could still make use of this old stand, I suppose, though I don't imagine this shopping center gets as much foot traffic as it did when BI-LO was here so running this stand wouldn't be very profitable. Because of the small size of the stand, it would also be hard to fit most cooking appliances or even a small fridge for perishable food inside. The stand will likely stay empty for years to come. It's probably cheaper to leave it be than to tear it down.
