Community Investors with Byrdâs
In this series of articles about Community Investment, Tommy and Thomas Byrd, owners of Byrd’s House of Donuts, answer the question, “Why did you invest in Elkins and why do you continue to invest?”
We’ve always wanted to own a business and in 2016 that opportunity presented itself with a ready-made donut shop. The thing is, neither one of us had ever made a donut! But the shop was set up, the equipment was there, and we were ready to take the opportunity we saw in front of us. So, Byrd’s House of Donuts was born in a rented space on the Beverly Pike/5-lane.
