Duck Donuts Nears Completion at Carnes Uptown, Targeting a Fall Opening
The sweet smell of success is almost in the air! After much anticipation and a few construction delays, Duck Donuts is officially on the home stretch to opening its doors in the new Carnes Uptown development, a prime location to serve both the Summerville and Goose Creek communities.
While the exact grand opening date is still pending, a recent update from the company reveals they are aiming for a late September or early October debut. This is exciting news for locals who have watched the building transform over recent months and can now see the “Duck Donuts” sign proudly displayed.

For those unfamiliar with the brand, Duck Donuts offers a one-of-a-kind donut experience. Unlike pre-made donuts found in a traditional shop, every single donut at Duck Donuts is “Warm, Delicious and Made To Order!” The process is simple and fun: customers start with a freshly made vanilla cake donut base and then get to be the designer, choosing from a variety of coatings, toppings, and drizzles to create their perfect treat.
The menu includes fan-favorite combinations like the “Maple Bacon” and “Chocolate Explosion,” but the true joy lies in creating your own. From simple cinnamon sugar to more complex concoctions with sprinkles, chopped bacon, and various drizzles, the possibilities are endless.
In addition to serving up sweet treats, the new location is also building its team. The company is actively looking for “smiling and energetic team members to join their flock,” with a specific need for day shift employees from Monday through Friday, as well as team leads. For anyone interested in a fast-paced and fun environment, this is a great opportunity to be a part of a highly-anticipated local opening.
The countdown is on for a new chapter in the Lowcountry’s food scene. Get ready to experience a whole new level of donut deliciousness this fall.
