Despite adapting to changing health guidelines and navigating personal challenges outside the business, Elizabeth and Jack persevered. Their resilience has helped Square Donut earn the title of Omaha’s Best Donut Shop every year since 2021.https://www.squaredonutomaha.com/donutsLOCATION: 15825 W Maple Rd.
