Opened September 2011 in the historic former Palace Drug Store building in Manhattan's Aggieville district by a group of local partners (co-owner Diane Merideth; part-owner Eric Caldwell, per the Manhattan Mercury). It quickly became a K-State hangout and the successor to Manhattan's late-night donut tradition.
