With unique donut combinations and product offerings such as donut sundaes and donut- topped milkshakes, and simple operations, their franchise opportunity has become an international sensation. Maybe it’s the magic of made-to-order cake donuts, maybe it’s the lovable brand, but most likely it’s all that and its global appeal.
Duck Donuts was founded in the beachside town of Duck, North Carolina, and has embraced the laid-back lifestyle that comes with its coastal roots. Since franchising began in 2013, the company now has 141 open franchise locations in 25 US states and locations in Canada & Puerto Rico. Outside North America, Duck Donuts has locations in Asia, the Middle East, & Caribbean, with the first location in Europe to open in UK later this year
Donuts have long been a delicious staple in American culture. Universally loved, donuts are a sweet pick-me-up for any time of day.
Duck Donuts is a fresh spin on the beloved donut shop, offering guests something truly special with customisable cake donuts for every craving, business meeting and special occasion.
Global growth
Duck Donuts has presence in Canada, Curacao, Egypt, Qatar, Pakistan, Philippines, and Thailand, with plans to open 2024 in Australia & UK.
“European Expansion is a key component in our growth strategy and we are delighted to be introducing our warm, delicious and made-to-order donuts in the UK in the next few months,” said Betsy Hamm,
Duck Donuts CEO. “Our vision is to serve an edible ring of happiness around the globe, and with each opening, we are one step closer to achieving this.”
Global franchisee support
From the process of store design and in country training, the corporate team works closely with each franchise owner to help them succeed. As a franchisee, one can expect hands-on training, training for shop managers and on-site support for the grand opening.
Once a shop is open for business, franchisees will continue to build a relationship with their dedicated franchise business consultant, who is there to offer guidance and support. The company has regional offices in Europe and Middle East to support the expansion and new shop openings.
One of the added benefits of being part of a franchise system is having support and access to fellow franchisees who share a common vision. And for Duck Donuts, it’s to serve a warm, edible ring of happiness around the globe.
