Six years after opening in Merchants Walk, the Duck Donuts store in East Cobb will be closing at the end of next week.
Co-owners Christine and Andrew Doring made the announcement Tuesday on the store’s Facebook page, saying the closure is due to “reasons beyond our control” but they did not elaborate.
“We can not thank you enough for your support over the last six years. We have truly enjoyed serving you.”
The last day of business will be Sunday, Aug. 17 for the made-to-order donut business, which is based in Pennsylvania and has more than 100 stores nationwide.
“We are proud to say we are not closing because of financial reasons. We have built a nice small business here,” Christine Doring said in response to a comment from a customer.
East Cobb News has left a message seeking more information.
The Dorings opened the first Atlanta-area Duck Donuts at 1281 Johnson Ferry Road in July 2019. There are two others that have opened since, in Acworth and Alpharetta.
“Hope to see you at the store during these final two weeks for one more ‘Warm, Delicious, Made-to-Order Donut!’ ” the Dorings’ message said.
Customers will get 35 percent off their orders when redeeming Duck Donut gift cards through the closure.
