More Than Just a Mascot
The Legend of Gus
Gus, the beloved mascot of Groovy Gus Mini Donuts, is more than just a character; he's a local legend. Born on April 26, 2019, Gus is a white squirrel from Bowling Green, now sporting a distinguished grey as he ages.
Fueled by donuts and black coffee, his mischievous antics, especially with Steve, add charm to the food truck scene.
Gus was chosen for his coolness, perfect rhyme with "bus," and his shared name with Burton Guster from "Psych." His caricature, created by Cindi's son David, features his iconic sunglasses and graces the company logo.
Gus also enjoys Corvettes, French Renaissance poetry, and sunset strolls. And, to the delight of his fans, Gus is still single, a fact he proudly shares.
