Isn't this the place constantly in the news for "we don't know how we are gonna keep going, we got all these donuts." Pandering for sales. Yes? So, when blessed with the windfall, that is the Pumpkin Festival, then you take the luxury and shut the place down? Stupid. How about doubling down, whatever that would look like, and stay open and WORK!
