The Donut Kettle, an institution in Windsor Locks for almost a century, has fallen victim to the sour economy.
John Syzkula and William Hitchcock are regulars at the Donut Kettle on Spring Street.
"Once a week we get together to have coffee and tell the same stories," said Hitchcock.
Many remember being a customer almost a half century ago, when the business was on Main Street.
"When I was going through school, that was our hangout," Syzkula said.
The establishment has remained a hangout, or a regular place to eat, for hundreds of people in town, but many of those customers got older and eventually passed away.
Customers haven't been replaced with a younger generation, said Tammy Danforth, whose mother Shari has Wadsworth owned the business the past 30 years.
Wadsworth, who bought the restaurant after waitressing there for years, says it's a broader trend that will likely force her to close at the end of the month.
