Thorntons Revamps Its Bakery Selections

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Thorntons Inc. will be offering a new line of freshly baked doughnuts Wednesday at its Louisville and Southern Indiana locations. To celebrate, the company is offering customers a free doughnut with a drink purchase through March 5.

"Our customers count on us to continually evolve to meet their on-the-go needs, and that includes foodservice," said Tony Harris, Thortons' chief operating officer. "With our new bakery line, we guarantee customers will be delighted by the enhancements to our morning menu."

The new doughnut flavors will include cookies and crème, topped with Oreo crumbles, and peanut butter and jelly made with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

According to a report by Business First, the Louisville-based fuel and convenience store chain began revamping its bakery selections in January by introducing a new selection of cookies including a gourmet oatmeal cookie, a triple chocolate chip cookie made with Hershey's chocolate and a peanut butter cookie made with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

The company also shows no sign of slowing down its foodservice efforts with plans to add butter croissants, pretzel croissants, blueberry muffins and danishes to the bakery menu in March.
