FROSTY’S FREEPORT

CLAIRE DANIELS works behind the counter at Frosty’s Donuts in Freeport.

Last Thursday, the new Frosty’s Donuts store at 45 Main St., in Freeport, opened for business. Owners Nels Omdal and his wife, Shelby St. Andre, acquired and resurrected the longtime Brunswick doughnut shop in February. Then, when the Freeport space became available, they jumped into expansion plans. All doughnuts are fried at the Maine Street store in Brunswick and ferried to Freeport five or six times each day. There are new developments, though. “One cool, new thing we’re doing here is kind of a ‘design your own doughnut’ thing,” Omdal said. “Customers can choose the kind of doughnut they want and then decide what kinds of toppings they want to put on it.”

A NEW FEATURE at the Frosty’s in Freeport is to create your own doughnut.

FROSTY’S OWNER Nels Omdal, above, welcomes customers to his new shop in Freeport. It is located at 45 Main St., next to the Freeport Historical Society. “Our regular hours will be 5 a.m. until 3 p.m., for now, but that may change,” Omdal said.

BACK IN BRUNSWICK: Roger Caouette, left, and Ray Bergeron make their way to Frosty’s in Brunswick on a daily basis. When asked if they were curious about the new location and if they were considering taking a trip to Freeport to see it, Caouette replied, “Who else is going to maintain things around here? We have to be here (in Brunswick). If the door sticks, or if something needs to be done here, we help out. So no, we are not going there (to Freeport).”
