Sweet-toothed shoppers are in for a treat today, as a new doughnut store hands out free tasters to anyone who goes into the shop.
Hatchet Harry’s, in Newcastle, is set to be jam-packed this weekend with the opening of a new doughnut store on the premises. The unit, under the arches in Forth Goods Yard, off Forth Banks, will be the second in the UK to house a branch of Harry’s Handcrafted Doughnuts, following a successful high street launch of the sister brand in Darlington, County Durham, earlier this year.
Business owners Jack Beadle and Richard Bridge came up with the idea during lockdown, when they were forced to temporarily close their Hatchet Harry’s axe-throwing venues due to Covid restrictions. Newcastle was the first centre to host axe-throwing leisure activity Hatchet Harry’s when the firm launched in 2019 and the company has since gone on to open six other axe-throwing venues around the UK.
