"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. Founder Russell DiGilio opened the first shop in 2007 in the beach town of Duck, N.C. (population roughly 750). Since then, the brand has franchised massively. There are more than 140 stores across the U.S. as well as outposts in other countries like Pakistan, Egypt and Thailand."
"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., its first Bay Area location and one of only four California outlets. The chain began in Duck, North Carolina in 2007 when founder Russell DiGilio opened the first shop after a family vacation. The company is headquartered in Pennsylvania and has franchised to more than 140 U.S. stores with international outposts in Pakistan, Egypt and Thailand. The chain emphasizes serving warm doughnuts and offers nearly 50 flavors, including s'mores, blueberry lemonade, Beach Ball and Sunrise. The Walnut Creek shop is open daily 6 a.m.–8 p.m.; some locals noted higher prices but praised fresh maple-bacon doughnuts.
