Obviously not golf cart accessible there's another store farther south on 27 closer to Minneola

The Minneola store is the "home office" on 27 a few miles north of FL 50. This store is open 24/7/365 and has a wider assortment.

Went to DD in Brownwood this past weekend. The first three things I asked for were either no longer being offered or out of stock. Also, the beverage cooler was empty. No milk, juice, etc. My business is also no longer being offered.

Wow assuming this is a franchise would think DD would watch over their franchisees as this is a reflection on the company

I wish I had stopped there before.

I love the giant apple fritters!!! 😜😋

After reading these posts, I stopped by on the way home from work in Leesburg. Small store -- I missed it the first time and had to round the block. The worker was pleasant and the selection was large -- 20+ donuts, plus others in front counter.

I selected a dozen and even at 6 pm, they were fresh -- they probably won't be by the time I finish them.

My favorite, so far, is the Fruity Pebble donut. The frosting compliments the cereal and was pleasantly surprised.

My wife liked the buttercream filled glazed.

I will probably pick some up for the office sometime soon.

I have heard Donut King supplies those huge donuts you get at Disney!

Glazed donuts literally melt in your mouth. You can eat a dozen and not realize it.

Used to go to a factory store and periodically would come out and just give them to customers. They are great just out of the frier.

Donut King
 
Stopped at Donut King yesterday late afternoon. Still a decent variety left. The worker told me they honor DD paper coupons there! They are open 5am to 8pm in Leesburg and 24/7 in their other locations. They are also open EVERY day ALL YEAR except Christmas. They cook everything at the store so they are fresh. They are VERY GOOD!!!
