MINOCQUA - You can now grab one of the most famous donuts in the Northwoods.

Paul Bunyan's Cook Shanty in Minocqua opened its doors Friday morning.

The line for donuts had already started by 7 a.m. The manager tells us the most important part of opening is preparing its employees.

"It's a lot of work. We have to look at employment of course. We get a lot of returns and we get some new, fresh faces. [We have to] make sure they're all trained and ready to go," said Mike Tonne, Paul Bunyan's Cook Shanty Manager.

If you're stopping by the 53 year-old business, you can expect to see new items in the gift shop.

After a long winter, Tonne believes business will be strong.

"We're seasonal so we do see a switch from people gearing up from winter and then having an opportunity to come in. They do come back in the summer and spend time with us," said Tonne. "I think it's going to be a good year. I really think that the tourism is [picking] up, the economy is turning around and I think it'll be good."

As for those famous donuts, Tonne shared the secret ingredient.

"They're made with a lot of love."

Breakfast at Paul Bunyan's starts at 7 a.m. with lunch following at noon. There is a second location in Wisconsin Dells.
