No reason was given for the closure of the OTR donut shop, which was located near other Vine Street staples such as The Eagle, Pontiac OTR, Quan Hapa and Graeter’s OTR shop.
The donut shop has been around since 1960 when a shop was opened in Newtown by Charles Holtman. Since then, multiple shops have opened around the Greater Cincinnati area by the Holtman family.
Other than the OTR location, Holtman’s still has four other locations in Cincinnati — Loveland, Oakley, West Chester and Williamsburg.
