Russ DiGilio - Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Duck Donuts | Contact Information, Email Address, Phone Number, Budgets and Responsibilities

Duck Donuts was founded in 2006 by Russ DiGilio in Duck, North Carolina. His intention? To solve a family vacation problem: “Our family wanted a place to buy warm, delicious, made-to-order donuts!, and when we couldn’t find one, we decided to start our own.”By 2011, Duck Donuts had expanded to four Outer Banks locations and the donut business was so successful that DiGilio was continuously approached about franchise opportunities by fans who begged for a Duck Donuts in their community. The first franchise opened in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 2013, and there are now 99 open franchise locations in two countries and more than 145 additional contracts in 27 states.
