Krupicka to Open Second Sugar Shack, in Arlington: Report

The popular Alexandria donut shop Sugar Shack, owned by former Delegate Rob Krupicka, will be opening in Arlington, according to a report by ARLnow. The eatery got its start in Richmond, where Krupicka often stopped in during his statehouse duties and got the idea to open a location in Alexandria.

Sugar Shack features freshly made donuts and coffee.

Krupicka decided to retire his political career to open the popular bakery in Alexandria. His second location will be on the ground floor of Pike 3400, a new apartment building going up at a busy corner in Arlington at Glebe Road and Columbia Pike. The longtime Rosenthal car dealership was previously located at the spot.

Krupicka tells ARLnow he expects the new Sugar Shack to open in early 2016.

The original Sugar Shack is located in Richmond, on Lombardy Street, with two others in the city; a Sugar Shack also has opened in Fredericksburg and Cocoa, Fla. Others are opening in Asheville, N.C. and Melbourne, Fla., according to the company Web site. Each is locally owned, according to the company.
