FLORENCE— Another sweet treat spot is coming to Florence.
Duck Donuts will host a soft opening and grand opening at its Celebration Boulevard location in southwestern Florence. The doughnut shop is the latest in a monthslong string of openings in the area.
The North Carolina-born chain is known for fresh, customizable doughnuts. It'll be the first in Florence, joining seven others in South Carolina.
“We love our Florence community, the amazing people and there are so many opportunities to integrate ourselves,” Owner Deep Patel said. “We are thrilled to open the doors of Duck Donuts Florence and serve you warm, delicious and made-to-order donuts. Thank you for welcoming us with open arms, it means a lot.”
Adventurous doughnut lovers can mix and match their own creations. Choose from coatings such as maple icing or lemon icing, toppings such as bacon or streusel, and drizzles such as marshmallow and peanut butter.
Duck Donuts offers menu staples for those who aren’t sure what combination to try. Regular menu items include flavors such as chocolate covered strawberry, blueberry pancake and maple bacon.
