A Twitter user was suddenly enveloped in nostalgia, prompting them to ponder the fate of the once-vibrant local donut enterprise, Gonuts Donuts.
“Out of the blue, a thought struck me: What ever happened to Gonuts Donuts??? I used to adore their shops and donuts, but they just vanished ??,” the user tweeted, sharing a collection of the brand’s most cherished offerings.
The user also delved into the past, shedding light on the brand’s rebranding attempt in 2018. Their digital presence has been conspicuously absent since 2020, as per their account.
Engaging in the conversation, another netizen acknowledged that Gonuts Donuts had been a pioneering force in the realm of local donuts within the Philippines.

tbf, sila yung trailblazer ng glazed donuts dito sa PH (as least from my perspective hahah). kasi after the success of gonuts donuts, saka lang sumulpot ang JCo and krispy kreme eh.

This was the best doughnut during that time. Masarap tapos madalas pa bagong luto sa stores yung tinda nila. I think around 2005? Pero bigla itong humina after rebrand and pagpasok ng J Co.
