Duck Donuts signs deal to expand franchise to Canada
Paula Wolf//July 12, 2021
Mechanicsburg-based Duck Donuts continues its international expansion, announcing the signing of a multi-unit franchise agreement that awarded the rights to develop and operate the company’s first Canadian locations.
2651754 Ontario Inc. plans to establish three locations in Ontario over the next four years, with the first expected to open in late 2021 in the city of Burlington, on the northwestern end of Lake Ontario.
Duck Donuts presently operates in 22 states and 105 locations, including in Dubai, United Arab Emirates; it will open in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia later this summer.
“We are confident this first multi-unit franchise agreement will help us continue to generate interest throughout Canada and open many doors for our brand once the community has their first bite of a warm donut from Duck Donuts,” Betsy Hamm, Duck Donuts CEO, said in a release.
The company’s first stores opened in 2007 in the beach towns of Duck and Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Duck Donuts started franchising six years later.
