RingO’s Donuts named 2010 Entrepreneur of the Year

June 27, 2010

J. Kirk Ring, owner of RingO’s Donuts in Smithfield, was recently named 2010 Entrepreneur of the Year. “I am honored and humbled that RingO’s Donuts has been selected to receive Isle of Wight County’s Entrepreneur of the Year award. The support that RingO’s Donuts has received during our first year has been tremendous, and we look forward to continuing to grow and build upon our relationship with the community in the years to come,” said Ring.

RingO’s opened in March of 2009 at 1200 S. Church Street. Ring, a former banker, is now a baker rising at 3 a.m. to make the donuts. Just two months after opening, RingO’s was selling more donuts per day than projected and running out. Ring keeps it simple by focusing on making and selling fresh, handmade yeast and cake doughnuts and offering Daily Donut Specials, yummy honey buns and cinnamon twists. Ring has added a few tables and chairs at the request of customers and a large picture window so that children can see how the donuts are made.
