I drove along Minnesota Avenue into Downtown Sioux Falls this past weekend. Daylight Donuts which was located in the building at 333 S. Minnesota Avenue was completely empty. It was totally cleaned out. The Daylight Donuts' sign was the only visible piece of evidence that the location was once a donut shop. It basically looks like the donut shop was never there.

Despite this surprising closure, there is another Daylight Donuts location in Mitchell. It is now the only remaining Daylight Donuts’ storefront in South Dakota.
