## Story

“We wanted to offer our guests the sweet treat of donuts and convenience this holiday with a free delivery week,” said Russ DiGilio, Duck Donuts founder and CEO. “Whether for a holiday office party or to enjoy with the family, let us deliver the donuts to you.”

Guests can get any combination of items including custom donut flavors, seasonal assortments including the limited-time Holiday Assortment featuring mint icing and crushed peppermint topping, OBX Donut Breakfast Sandwich, hot and iced coffee, espresso and bottled beverages. Orders can be conveniently placed and paid online by visiting

Duck Donuts specializes in warm, delicious, and made-to-order donuts. Customers can create their own donut combination by choosing from a variety of coatings, toppings, and drizzles, including traditional favorites such as chocolate icing with sprinkles and more adventurous creations such as maple icing with bacon. The beach-inspired family-friendly stores offer a viewing area where children and adults alike can watch their donuts being made.

Duck Donuts also sells coffee, tea, donut breakfast sandwiches and offers online ordering and delivery in many locations. To learn more about local promotions or locate the nearest Duck Donuts, visit duckdonuts.com/locations.

Duck Donuts was founded in 2006 by Russ DiGilio in Duck, North Carolina. His intention? To solve a family vacation problem: “Our family wanted a place to buy warm, delicious and made-to-order donuts, and when we couldn’t find one, we decided to start our own.”

By 2011, Duck Donuts had expanded to four Outer Banks locations and the donut business was so successful that DiGilio was continuously approached about franchise opportunities by fans who begged for a Duck Donuts in their community. The first franchise opened in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 2013, and there are now 85 open franchise locations and more than 145 additional contracts in 26 states and three countries.
