Our History
In June of 2011, Tina and Kevin Cavanagh purchased a donut shop in North Bismarck, and changed it into the first Bearscat Bakehouse.
Bearscat is an old cowboy term for donuts, we thought that was a bit silly, so we decided to name our shop that. We think buying donuts should be fun and just a bit silly.
In December 2015, they opened a second bakery in Mandan, ND, across the river from Bismarck.
The year 2018 brought distribution of Bearscat donuts into local supermarkets and in July or 2018, a Minot, ND location was opened, with supermarket availability of Bearscat Donuts also expanded to Minot Cashwise stores!
In June 2019, Bearscat Bakehouse was welcomed to Salem, Oregon! And January 2022, their newest donut shop opened in Mesa, Arizona!
