"The company grew over the years, and by 1994, it had about 70 doughnut shops in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut and employed about 750 people.

In 1993, Louis Gencarelli added Bible verses to the company’s packaging and mounted the words “Christ is the Answer” on company headquarters. In pamphlets distributed at the time, he explained he had found his faith after being hospitalized a third time for alcoholism."

"family-owned doughnut chain known for printing Bible verses on its coffee cups.

But instead the Westerly-based company that became a Rhode Island institution owes creditors some $17.6 million, while its born-again Christian head is accused of looting the chain to fund a lavish lifestyle."

I went into one of their shops in 1999 and noticed the Bible Verses on their cups and said, "Oh no!!!" I walked out and never went back.

One less Fundie terrorising America!
