'Donut Monster' Plans Whitefish Bay Storefront: Report

WHITEFISH BAY, WI — Now here's some news we could really sink our teeth into: Glendale couple Jackie and Sara Woods are planning to take their wildly-popular doughnut-making business to a storefront in Whitefish Bay.

According to a JSOnline report this week, after about a year of doing business at area farmer's markets and coffee shops, they plan to open up a storefront as soon as this fall.

Their goal is to open up in a neighborhood with the appropriate vibe. According to Whitefish Bay plan commission documents, the property in consideration is a vacant storefront at 5169 N. Elkhart. The plan commission meets July 16.

According to Whitefish Bay Plan Commission documents, Donut Monster was established in June 2018 by Jackie and Sara Woods. Donut Monster currently sells donuts and breakfast sandwiches at Hawthorne Coffee Roasters, Port Washington Farmers Market, and Shorewood Farmers Market.

Jackie Woods has worked at a variety of Michelin starred restaurants in the United States. Donut Monster’s financial and business operations will be managed by Sara Woods. Sara Woods spent the past 14 years analyzing and reporting on financial and program data for federal grants.

City officials say the doughnuts will be made off-site in a commercial kitchen and brought in for sale. Other breakfast items may be made on-site (without a hood) as approved by North Shore Health Department.

The business is proposed to be open Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Wednesday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
