The popular, Moose is Loose Bakery, announced it would be closing its doors on September 28. With the impending end date the building has been flooded with a non-stop line of doughnut fans stocking up on their favorite baked goods.

KSRM News spoke with a few of those individuals in line on Thursday, however staff at the Moose is Loose said they would not talk to the press and abruptly asked the news team to leave the premises.

One individual who had been in line for nearly 30 minutes was among those lamenting the impending loss of the Moose is Loose: “This is my childhood. I’ve got 42 doughnut orders with me from people I know.”

A local couple standing in line with a list of doughnut requests from their family: “The Moose is Loose is just a good doughnut shop, it’s local. They are super good.”

In an announcement on social media, owners Bob and Diane Wallace, wrote that the decision to close the bakery stemmed from a number of factors:: “It is with great sadness that we have decided to Retire. We are tired and our health is affected.”

The business is and has been for sale, according to the owners. They wrapped up the post simply stating “It has been a successful ride for over 18 years thanks to you!”
