Local government regulations can be an expensive pain to comply with, as this Lamar’s Donut franchisee found out with its sink:
•When is the Lamar’s going to open on Johnson Drive? A sign has been up since this summer.
An area Lamar’s Donuts franchisee took over the spot at 5901 Johnson Drive in May but was slowed down dealing with city regulations, such as fitting in a three-compartment sink to a 600-square-foot spot, along with other plumbing issues.
The “satellite store” opened Friday. Doughnuts are made at the midtown store and then taken to Mission.
The franchisees, Alan and Kimberly Foster, own the Lamar’s at 3395 Main St., as well as locations in Lee’s Summit and Greenwood, Mo.

Some cities are bad, some are ok. The regs sometimes get quirky. It is the health inspectors that are a pain and write you up for violations for small infractions.
