“While I was making plans to relocate and retire, I decided instead to shift careers and start a small business venture with my children," Lee said. "My son suggested Duck Donuts and after visiting various Virginia locations, we decided it would be a great business opportunity. The donuts were as delicious as my son described, and I love seeing the memories made among families when visiting Duck Donuts. As a grandmother, I wanted to contribute to that family-friendly atmosphere.”

Russ DiGilio, founder and owner of Duck Donuts Franchising Company LLC, notes Duck Donuts will bring 25 to 40 new jobs to the community. As of May 9, Duck Donuts Franchising Company has 37 open stores and 126 contracts.
