Iconic TatoNut Donut Shop gearing up to reopen Updated May 04, 2021; OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. -- There’s a slew of activity going on inside Ocean Springs’ iconic TatoNut Donut Shop. No, there are no customers inside -- yet -- but there’s remodeling and renovations going on as the shop prepares for what they hope will be a grand reopening this month. TatoNut’s doors were closed to business on Jan. 10 -- two days before the passing of owner David Mohler at the age of 61. As wife Theresa, and daughter Katelyn grieved -- along with their large family and, indeed, the entire community -- the doors remained closed.
