Billy By is that son and he was heartbroken that his father’s newly opened store, Billy’s Donuts didn’t have any customers.

English Expressions
“buy the shop out” – to buy everything that is available for sale until there is nothing left.
“starting a business from scratch” – when you start something from scratch, it means you start from the very beginning and build on that. For example, when you make a cake from scratch you would gather all the ingredients such as flour, egg, milk etc and make that cake yourself rather than buying a cake box and making it that way.
