I am very sad to see the Yum Yum shop go and also wonder why. It could be a few things. It might be that even if they did own the property mortgage free, they had taxes to pay, higher wages and other expenses. I also don't think the products were as good as they used to be. Still good but not quite like they were. I paid $14.60 for a dozen donuts and I think that is quite high. ( The next time I paid 13.60.) I don't think the people working there knew the prices because that was not the first time that happened to me.) Not saying they didn't need to charge it to cover expenses but just saying maybe it was a vicious circle. You need a huge volume to cover expenses. Or maybe they just got tired of doing it. Still it seems if it was lucrative, the family would have kept it. All guesses----
