Cops and Doughnuts, 521 McEwan in Clare, opened to the public on Wednesday with a good reception from locals. The Clare City Bakery was going to close, but nine local officers bought the business to keep it open. Sun Photograph by RYAN EVON

A popular item on the first day for the bakery were the roundabout cookies. One of the owners, John Pedjac, said the Clare's new traffic control device was a current topic of discussion, so they made a cookie commentary. Sun Photograph by RYAN EVON
