Listen "Lisa Elam Tucker - Bill's Donuts"
Episode Synopsis
Bill and Faye Elam founded bills donuts in 1960 but the original shop was in downtown Dayton. In the 1970s there were several locations throughout the Dayton area with stores in Vandalia, Wilmington, Kettering, and Huber Heights. In Centerville, the original shop location was closer to the intersection of Franklin and Main but the parking was limited, necessitating a move to the current location at Bradstreet and Far Hills. Initially, the shop wasn’t open 24 hours a day but as more Centerville residents were working the third shift at NCR the store evolved to the shifting demand. In 1995 Bill and Faye sold the business to their children Lisa and Jim.
