Duck Donuts® Recent Franchise Agreement

Duck Donuts announced the recent signing of a franchise agreement awarding the rights to develop and operate in Edmonton, a city in Alberta, Canada.

Duck Donuts recently hired industry veteran, Costas Siountres, to serve as the company’s first director of Canadian development. As the director of Canadian development, Siountres is responsible for managing the process from the sourcing of leads through the awarding of the franchise agreements.

Siountres entered the franchise business in 1997 when he bought his first Pita Pit Franchise, growing his portfolio to multiple locations in both Canada and the United States. In 2001, he began working for Pita Pit headquarters where he spent time in both development and operations until the franchise sold in 2021.

"We are delighted to expand our presence in Canada," said Eric Lavinder, Duck Donuts chief development officer. "Costas brings a wealth of knowledge and connections to the team.”
