Old Fashioned Donuts at 7-11?

OK, so for the past couple of weeks, my local 7-11 (Milwaukee and Fullerton) has been displaying chocolate-chocolate glazed donuts in the little plastic case by the register, with a sign indicating they are "O/F Donuts." Steel-trap mind that I have, I instantly (eventually) figured, this must somehow mean these donuts are from Old Fashioned Donuts in Roseland. Far-fetched? Yes, but I asked the clerk, and she said that yes, they WERE from the very Old Fashioned Donuts on South Michigan that I imagined. And another clerk on another night, and yet a third on another night corroborated. So, I bought some of them, and they are very good, vastly superior to your typical 7-11 donut, but I am left with nagging doubts. First, I've never tried anything at Old Fashioned other than the apple fritter and regular glazed yeast donuts, so I have no idea whether these are the authentic, real deal. Second, I've never heard of Old Fashioned selling its product elsewhere than the bakery itself. But, I throw this out there for consideration. Have I been duped? If so, why? What would a 7-11 at 2400 N. Milwaukee stand to gain by selling fake Old Fashioned Donuts? I'll bet I'm one of maybe 15 or 20 people in Logan Square who has ever even been to Old Fashioned Donuts. Thoughts?

Maybe it's worth placing a call to Old Fashioned Donuts to find out what's going on? This could be the first case of "knock off" donuts I've ever heard about.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Old Fashioned was selling doughnuts at a convenience store like 7-11. On the south side you can often find amazing cakes in the plastic clam shells at gas stations. My personal favorite treat is scoring one of Mrs. Winter's (out of Harvey, I believe) ginormous yellow cake slices with chocolate frosting from the Amoco over by the Regent's Park hi-rise in Hyde Park. And if Krispy Creams can be ubiquitous, I can certainly see OFD increasing their outlets . . . heck, I certainly never thought I'd see a Harold's in Wicker Park, so why not an OFD nearby?
