The owner of a doughnut shop in Ohio was left in tears after a loyal customer bought a single doughnut for $1,000. Tremont Goodie Shop shared this story on their Facebook page, praising the customer who had been a loyal regular for 40-50 years. “We are in tears. This is a custard donut for $1,000 to help keep us in business. What a blessing,” the shop writes on Facebook.
The photo shows someone holding a white bag with a pastry inside it and a red heart colored on the bag. Emilie Smith is the manager of the family-owned shop and spoke to Fox News about the incredible act of kindness and generosity.
“He called and asked us if he would be able to give us $1,000 for his doughnut. I got choked up. He asked again ‘would that be ok?’ because there was silence on the line,” Smith recalls. “I choke out, ‘yes, of course, it would be ok!’ I never expected that.”
