‘People really enjoyed the doughnuts we had to offer.
‘We are happy in the knowledge we will be just as successful as we were in the first weeks we were open.’
The Google update went online after the other registered director of the shop, Richard Dexter, was sentenced to jail on February 10 for defrauding a victim out of more than £140,000.
Sticky Boy opened at the end of January and closed temporarily after the sentencing.
