A little slice of Hamilton is on its way to Hastings, with Mama's Donuts announcing it's opening a store in June.
The proud new owner and manager of the soon-to-be Omahu Rd store, beside Hell Pizza, Emily Whiu said once she saw the bakery in Hamilton she knew it was something she wanted to get involved in.
"My husband is a Hamilton boy and loved these dougnuts, so we went round there one day and after seeing the way it was run and the real family feel of the place I thought it was something I could do," Whiu said.

The former primary school teacher and mother of four said she wanted to have a job where she would be able to spend more time with her family and still be able to work.
