To Protect And Serve Doughnuts
Across from "Batons R Us" and down a ways from "Tickets 'N More".
Police Doughnuts open in Middletown
"If there's a bright spot in this gloomy economy, it's a new place in Middletown where the motto is "To protect and serve … doughnuts."
Police Doughnuts -- yes, that's the business's name -- has "gone gangbusters" since opening about three weeks ago, said owner Ken Borders, a retired Louisville arson investigator and former state trooper.
Borders is unapologetic about the name.
"Being in police work for 32 years, it's been a standing joke that cops and doughnuts, they go hand-in-hand," he said. "I just figured that it would be a catchy name."
Borders said Police Doughnuts is meant to recall a time when officers really did hang out at doughnut shops, whereas today's police "are all into this fitness crap."
