Doughnut shop won't sell doughnuts
No doubt this was negotiated early in the process, but the chain's name will still be there. Laughing and face palming at the same time.
http://www.katu.com/news/weird/Dough...247685561.html QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — A doughnut shop chain won't be selling doughnuts at a new Massachusetts location. Quincy's licensing board this week approved a plan for Honey Dew Donuts to open a shop inside the city's new $30 million YMCA. A spokeswoman for the Y tells The Patriot Ledger (http://bit.ly/1ftynt9 ) that because of the organization's emphasis on physical fitness, no doughnuts will be sold. The shop will sell coffee, low-fat muffins, salads, sandwiches, yogurt, fruit cups and smoothies. All menu items must be approved by the Y. According to Honey Dew's website, its low-fat muffins contain more calories and sugar than many of its doughnuts.

Re: Doughnut shop won't sell doughnuts
Some years back the Bruegger's Bagel chain spent many thousands renovating a large vacant retail space in my town. Shortly before they had their grand opening, the ironically-named local Downtown Development Commission advised them they were welcome to do business here, but they could not sell bagels.
Just because people have authority does not mean they possess the wisdom to wield it.
