"police doughnuts" news and stories

Ron Henderson maintains it's a myth that police officers eat a disproportionate number of doughnuts, but his entrepreneurial fantasy involves cops selling lots of them.

Henderson recently took over Police Doughnuts from a fellow retired officer, and hopes to spin the Louisville storefront into a franchise. While he concedes there might be a few other former officers with doughnut bakeries of their own – the Internet was briefly abuzz last year with news of a small-town force in Michigan buying a century-old pastry shop -- Henderson says he's the first to fully mine the possibilities of a law enforcement theme.

And, in good law-and-order fashion, he's also trademarked the concept.
