Dutch Girl Donuts owner dies at 75, leaving the future of the Woodward Avenue shop uncertain


Steve NeavlingDutch Girl Donuts is located at 19000 Woodward Ave. in Detroit. According to The Detroit News, Timmer had succumbed to a battle with cancer that the Dutch Girl Donuts' owner, husband, father, and grandfather, had quietly endured for more than a year and a half. Timmer's parents, John and Cecilia, founded Dutch Girl Donuts in 1947 after taking over a former Dixie Cream Donut location. However, as a result of low staffing and health issues, Dutch Girl Donuts has since been forced to close and reassess its business strategy. If Dutch Girl Donuts can survive through to next year, the doughnut shop will reach its 75th anniversary, though Parrow says that maybe after 75 years, it might be time to call it quits.
