One of Vancouver’s most famous doughnut shops is planning to open another location, this time in North Vancouver’s Lower Lonsdale neighbourhood.
Fans of the beloved doughnut shop can expect the new location to open up this winter at 100-124 West First Street, two blocks away from Lonsdale Quay.
For several months the windows of the closed storefront have been plastered with advertisements for Hula Hoop Combat Training, though that now seems to have been a ruse hinting at the circular treats that are on the way.
“Fans can look forward to indulging in their favorite classic and seasonal donut varieties at this new location, adding a tasty addition to the already thriving area,” said Jigs Dimaculangan, Lee’s Donuts brand manager.
Lee’s first opened its doors at Vancouver’s Granville Island Public Market in 1979, and has grown since then with eight locations throughout the Lower Mainland, including new locations at Vancouver International Airport earlier this month and at Willowbrook Mall in Langley last year.
The North Vancouver shop is slated to open this winter, and the North Shore News will update when an official date comes out. To check out other Lee’s Donuts locations, visit leesdonuts.ca.
