LUERS GRAD OPENS TOM’S DONUTS
On Tuesday, October 14, Tom’s Donuts opened in Georgetown Plaza next to Kroger. Formerly Georgetown Donuts, this will be the fourth Tom’s Donuts in Fort Wayne. Since 1970, Tom’s Donuts has been a locally owned donut franchise. The latest location will be owned and operated by Fort Wayne residents, Tyler and Melissa Wasson.
Melissa Wasson grew up around the donut business. Her family has been working with Tom’s Donuts since 1980, or before she was born. Her parents continue to manage the shop located on the corner of State Street and Wells Street.
“My family has taken great pride in providing freshly baked donuts for over 35 years,” says Melissa Wasson. “I’m excited for my husband and I to get involved in the family business and carry on the tradition.”
