Stan's Donuts closed Thursday after 55 years at its famous location on Weyburn Avenue.
Owner Stan Berman, who first opened Stan's Donuts back in 1965, announced on his website that Thursday "will be the last day I will be making donuts."
"Unfortunately COVID-19 made the decision happen sooner, but I hope that you will remember how our donuts made you smile for many years to come," he wrote.
