Duck Donuts is a popular American donut franchise that specializes in made-to-order donuts. The company was founded in 2006 in Duck, North Carolina, by Russ DiGilio. Since then, it has expanded to over 100 locations across the United States.

History[edit | edit source]

Duck Donuts started as a small donut shop in the coastal town of Duck, North Carolina. Russ DiGilio, a local entrepreneur, had a vision of creating a unique donut experience for customers. He wanted to offer made-to-order donuts that were freshly cooked and customizable with a variety of toppings and drizzles.

The concept quickly gained popularity among locals and tourists, leading to the opening of additional Duck Donuts locations in nearby towns. The franchise model was introduced in 2013, allowing entrepreneurs to open their own Duck Donuts stores under the guidance and support of the company.
