"Duck Donuts opened its Walnut Creek shop in early February at 2920 North Main St. That would be south of a Donut King and east of an Allstar Donuts, for Californians who navigate best with fried treats. It is the company's first Bay Area location, which are rare in the state; there are only three others, all located in the L.A. area."
"The company is headquartered in Pennsylvania, but its origins trace to the sandy dunes of the Eastern Seaboard. "The dream of Duck Donuts was hatched on a family vacation in the Outer Banks of North Carolina when we noticed that the charming town we loved so much was missing one thing ... delicious donuts," states its website."
"Duck Donut's vision, according to the website, is thus: "To serve a warm, edible ring of happiness around the globe." The emphasis is on "warm" because, much like Krispy Kreme, people say to get the doughnuts as soon as they leave the fryer. The chain has an impressive number of flavors. There are nearly 50 flavors on offer at its locations, ranging from s'mores and blueberry lemonade to concepts like "Beach Ball" and "Sunrise.""
Duck Donuts opened a Walnut Creek shop at 2920 North Main St., marking the chain's first Bay Area location and one of only four California sites. The brand began in Duck, North Carolina, in 2007 and has since expanded to more than 140 U.S. stores and international outposts. The company emphasizes serving warm doughnuts fresh from the fryer and offers nearly 50 flavors, including novelty and seasonal options. Local reactions noted higher prices ($32 per dozen, $19 for six) alongside praise for items like maple bacon and the visual appeal of freshly made doughnuts. The Walnut Creek shop is open daily 6 a.m.–8 p.m.
