Bearscat Bakehouse Mandan Location Opening November

As originally reported last September, Bearscat Bakehouse – formerly The Donut Hole – is expanding to Mandan. According to KX News, the Mandan store will be located at the corner of 5th Ave NE and 1st Street NE and expects to open November.

Baking will be done at the existing Bismarck store and trucked to Mandan.

Last September, it was announced that Bearscat Bakehouse had applied for $150,000 in Chase Mission Main Street Grants to aid in its effort to open a Mandan store.

Bearscat’s opening will fulfill a void left after the closure of long-time local bakery George’s Bakery, which closed in 2006 after 59 years (44 years as George’s).

Bearscate Bakehouse was born in 2012 when local resident Kevin Cavanagh purchased the existing The Donut Hole, which was established by Dickinson-based Bakery Boy in 1980.
