Gourmet doughnut shop set for downtown Little Rock

As speculation continues to run rampant over the location of the pending Little Rock outlet of the Springfield, Mo.-based Hurts Donut Co. chain -- including the possibility that it could open downtown, which for some reason has been unable to heretofore sustain a viable doughnut shop -- comes word that Donuts & Deli is opening sometime in October in the space at 308 Main St., Little Rock.

The space used to house the short-lived former lunchtime deli outlet of Bruno's Little Italy.

A website in progress, donutslr.com, lists a range of gourmet doughnuts (including one called "Nuts for Nutella"), deli sandwiches, salads and daily soup specials.

The Facebook page, facebook.com/donutslr, lists tentative hours -- 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday; want doughnuts on Monday, you're apparently out of luck, they'll be closed -- and a phone number: (501) 626-8083.
