Cheers to the new owners of the Oxford Doughnut Shoppe, opening soon! Don't forget to pick up a Butler County Donut Trail passport 🗺 BCDonutTrail.com

"Donuts... is there anything they can't do?" - Homer Simpson 🍩

Exciting News from Oxford Doughnut Shoppe! 🍩

We've been working tirelessly over the last week and a half to get everything in perfect shape for YOU! Here’s what we’ve been up to:

✨ We’ve had our hood professionally cleaned
✨ Our fire suppression system has been updated
✨ Our fire department walk-through is complete
✨ The kitchen has undergone a MAJOR deep cleaning
✨ And we’re all set for our Health Inspection this Thursday!

Fingers crossed, we’re hoping to be opening up this Friday! 🙌 We can’t wait to welcome you all back!

Now, here’s the answer to the big question….
Who are the new owners?

Well, I’m Stephene Spahn, a mother, teacher, 4-H advisor, the new doughnut fryer and a passionate doughnut lover. For the last 5 years, I’ve dreamed of owning my own doughnut shop after working at another Butler County Donut Trail location. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m so excited to finally make it happen!

But none of this would have been possible without the help of my amazing husband Chris, and our business partner John Lake. Their dedication and support have made this dream a reality, and I am forever grateful.

A HUGE thank you to all of the friends (or should we say, family) who have stepped in over the last two weeks to help us get to this point. Their love and support have meant the world to us. We truly couldn't have done it without them. *We love you all!*❤️

So Oxford... We are excited to bring you all the delicious doughnuts again. Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we make the final checks on the to-do list.

We can’t wait to share the next doughnut with you! 😄
