Royal Donuts

are on everyone's lips, or as we say in German, they are in everyone's mouths.

New. Royal Donuts on Bertolstraße 4 near Bertoldsbrunnen

Well, not quite for last Friday, shortly before 1 p.m., the doors of the "Royal Donuts" in Freiburg on Bertoldstrasse 4 were still closed, but the line in front of it already stretched all around the block.

Around 50 people, all under 30 years old, had lined up - and there was no end to it. "I've been waiting for half an hour," said a teen. 

All this for donuts? Yes, but not those simple ones with icing. At Royal Donuts, the not-quite-low-calorie treats come in every shape and color. The current range of donut variations includes 120 varieties - all Royal Donut stores' assortment being the same.

Suppose you don't find what you like. In that case, you can put together your donut on Royal Donuts' homepage according to your preferences, e.g., a donut filled with peanut butter, glazed with Nutella, garnished with After Eight, Bounty, and Mars, and doused with a lotus sauce. These many bells and whistles come at a price: 6 euros for the calorie bomb.

Royal Donuts is a franchise company from Cologne founded in 2008, operating 130 stores in Germany and abroad. In Freiburg, a Swiss couple operates the shop. They have been running a fitness studio in Switzerland and are approaching their new challenge with great joy and confidence for a good reason. "The demand is enormous! It is the combination of eye-catchers that photograph well and good taste," says Nadia, with her partner Andreas nodding.

Her original plan was to open a gym in Freiburg. Then it became the donut store. The life and business partners' concept was well thought out: eat first and then off to the gym; otherwise, you will have those few seconds on the lips, forever on your hips.
