Sean Young bought Leavitt’s Country Bakery in New Hampshire in the spring of 2021 .

He bought the bakery in 2022 , it became known as one of New Hampshire's top doughnut shops.

Students at a high school created a mural above the shop's front door in June 2022 .

Conway , New Hampshire , told Young the painting was a sign that exceeded the town's legal size limit.

Young sued the town the next year claiming its ordinance violates the First Amendment .

A judge granted a temporary restraining order that allowed the mural to remain until the case finished.

Attorneys representing Conway argued in court that the town restricts the size of signs to preserve the town’s safety and “natural beauty” Conway 's attorney said the town was “disappointed” by the ruling.
