Title
Donut shops - Quality Donut/Donut Villa
Description
This is one of the more bizarre stories involving businesses from Everett. Quality Donuts was a popular breakfast place in Everett Square for many years until the 1970's. It was owned by a married couple . The couple was involved in a nasty divorce sometime in the 70's. The end result was two donut shops right next door to each other on Broadway. One was "Joe Murray's Original Quality Donuts" the other was "Donut Villa". This arrangement lasted about a year, when Quality Donuts gave up. Donut Villa lasted about three decades in the Square before they gave way to Dempsey's, another breakfast place still standing to this day.
