Hi all,
I have been an on again off again reader of big footy for a few years and rarely have anything constructive to add - BUT I do today. Before you read on and crucify me for being a WCE supporter I believe what I have to say goes beyond club loyalties so please hear me out.
If any of you sit at the city end of Paterson's Stadium you would be aware of a distinct absence of that sweet alluring smell and taste of Levi's Doughnuts this year. If you have visited the Fremantle Markets or been at the games for the past 5 years you may have also tasted possibly the best tasting doughnuts ever locally produced.
Now before you ask, I am just a WCE member who loves his team and has had a tradition at every home game (for about 5 years) of devouring a 3/4 time traditional doughnut from Levi's stand. We could just say I am a regular customer.
When Levi didn't turn up at the first home game I got in contact with Levi to ask him what the story was...and this is the shortened version.
Essentially Levi was told 10 days prior to the season starting that his stand was none compliant (like many other stands still operating) and that feedback suggested the crowds wanted more coffee stands so they didn't have to wait. There is a little more to it but that is the crux of it. In his place you will notice some coffee and churro stands which are just a frozen American product reheated. Levi built his business from locally sourced produce and local knowledge as a chef of 10 years to produce what I and I know many others believe are the best and only doughnuts of its kind made right here in WA.
I have taken up the fight to support a local business who is being pushed out for just another mass produced far inferior imported product.
In order to convince the new catering company, who will be taking over from Spotless, that Levi's Doughnuts are worth inviting back for 2015, we need your support.
So first step is to "like" Levi's Doughnuts on facebook so further info like an online petition, twitter account and correspondence can be sent to his many loyal WCE and Fremantle customers, to keep them updated. We have until July 2014 to convince the suits that this business has a regular, strong customer base...please get on board and share it with everyone you know.
Sorry for the long first post.
Andrew
