Donut Franchise To Open 1st CT Location In Orange

ORANGE, CT — Duck Donuts will open its first location in Connecticut in Orange, according to a spokesperson for the company.

Communications Specialist Cassidy Funk said, "We are so excited for the first Duck Donuts in CT in Orange, Connecticut. The shop is in the early stages of the design process, so I don’t have any opening information to share at this time. The local owners and operators are Chris Cassese & Robert ElHage."

Duck Donuts' origins are in North Carolina's Outer Banks. The first shop opened in 2007, and now Duck Donuts has more than 100 locations around the country. Currently the nearest location to Connecticut is in White Plains, NY.

The shop specializes in fresh, hot donuts with a dizzying array of made-to-order toppings. This includes flavors like "Bacon in the Sun," "Beach Ball," "Blueberry Lemonade," and "Blueberry Pancake."

Duck Donuts also carries a line of adorable rubber duckies at many of its shops that your kids will no doubt beg you to buy.

The store will open at 350 Boston Post Road in a plaza that includes Wasabi Sushi, the Smoothie King, and Retro Games Plus.

The franchise was represented by Kyle Frizell of YellowBrick Real Estate to help secure the space.
