Hurts Donut Corporate Office Was Not Notified Of Joplin Closure

A popular donut shop in Joplin has closed. Hurts Donut unexpectedly shuttered its doors over the weekend after being open less than two years.

In a statement on Hurts Facebook page, it says corporate was not notified of the closure before hand by the franchise owner and just learned of it on Sunday. It went on to say they’re still gathering more information, but their goal is to keep the Joplin store open.

We learned yesterday, for the first time, that the Joplin Hurts Donut was closed by its local franchise owner. This location is not a corporate store and we did not have any prior warning of its closing Sunday. We are in the middle of gathering additional information, but our goal is to keep a HDC store in Joplin to serve our loyal customers and fans in the area. We will be releasing more details as they’re available.

Hurts Donuts, which first opened in Springfield, had 19 locations in 10 states.
