It was a sad day in Charlotte when Your Mom’s Donuts owner Courtney Ahern announced that both Charlotte-area locations of the doughnut shop would be closing for good in February.

But the news has come full circle — er, full square? — with a new announcement: Your Mom’s Donuts has reopened under new ownership. Dustin and Colleen Wanemacher took over the beloved doughnut shop. “We’re so excited to continue the legacy of Your Mom’s Donuts,” the owners told CharlotteFive.

The Wanemachers are former customers themselves. “Our YMD experience began at the Davidson Farmer’s Market where we’d see Courtney and her crew on Saturday mornings after our daughter’s ballet class,” they shared in an Instagram post. “We couldn’t get enough of these big square donuts, along with the rest of the market.”

NOW: Run, don’t walk — you can pick up the famous square doughnuts (to-go only, for now) at the Matthews location and at Park Road Shopping Center. Your Moms Donuts has also returned to the Davidson Farmer’s Market. The menu includes: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, plain glaze, maple, cinnamon sugar and vanilla bean donuts.

NEXT UP: The Matthews dining room will be renovated and reopened.
