Discount kosher doughnuts have been flying off the shelves of a Manchester branch of Morrisons this Chanukah after replicating the success of the Stamford Hill branch a year ago.
Long queues were spotted at the Stamford Hill branch last Chanukah after Rabbi Akiva Osher Padwa was drafted to kasher its fryer, kicking off a craze for doughnuts at ten pence apiece.
Rochelle Gardner, the “community champion” of the Morrisons in Whitefield, Manchester, lobbied higher-ups at the supermarket giant’s headquarters, before getting the go-ahead to sell five doughnuts for 60p this year.
The branch sold out on the first day, shifting around 2,000 of the fried treats, and is re-stocking for further sales on Monday evening and Tuesday.
