Tasty news for Mile High doughnut fans: , founded in Ocean City, Maryland in 1976, has opened its Denver shop today — that’s March 24, folks — at 4090 E. Mississippi Ave. It sits just a block east of South Colorado Boulevard.
The shop encourages customers to channel their “inner doughnut genius” by customizing orders via 12 different glazes and 15 toppings. (Lucky us, the Denver shop, run by franchisee Jacky Hardy, offers 18 toppings, including fresh crumbled bacon.) You get such non-traditional options as French Toast (maple, cinnamon and sugar), Blueberry Hill (blueberry glaze and powdered sugar) and Morning Buzz (mocha, chocolate chip cookie crumbles), among others.
Fractured Prune shops take their name from Prunella Shriek, a 19th-century woman who became famous for breaking bones in athletic competition with men, even into her 70s. Always nice to tip ones hat to a pre-Title IX pioneer.
The store is open daily, 6 a.m.-9 p.m.
