Construction Begins on New Donut Bank Location in Evansville

For nearly 55 years, when Tri-State residents need a donut fix, Donut Bank has been the place to go. Since opening its first First Avenue location on the north side of Evansville, the Kempf family bakery has expanded the popular bakery to nine locations in Evansville, Newburgh, Princeton, and its most recent location in Henderson, which opened in 2014. Soon, that location won’t be considered the newest since construction has begun on a new location.

Evansville 411 News on Facebook was the first to report that the Kempf family began construction of a second location on the west side of Evansville. The new location will occupy the space previously occupied by Mobile 1 Lube Express (known as Grease Monkey in the past) at 4800 West Lloyd Expressway between Subway and Culver’s.

According to building permits acquired by Evansville 411 News, the new location will be just 2,500 square feet and is scheduled to open sometime in 2022, although no specific opening date has been announced.

The new bakery will be located approximately two miles west of the location on St. Joe Avenue, near the intersection with Franklin Street. While that may seem close (because it is), it makes sense for the Kempfs to add a location in that west side area when considering how much growth that area has seen over the years, both from a retail and residential perspective.

We will make sure to broadcast an opening date once it has been announced.
