(KNOX) – The son of the founder of Sandy’s Donuts has died. Former CEO Mark Ostlund passed away unexpectedly, and was 62-years-old. Mark took over as CEO in 2002, after his parents, Sandy and Donna Ostlund founded the business in 1983.

Mark’s son, Jeff Ostlund succeeded his father in 2022, but Mark was a co-owner and still had some involvement in the business. 

Sandy’s Donuts has three locations across the Fargo area, and it delivers fresh donuts daily to both gas stations and stores.
