Almost simultaneously Duck Donuts and Dunkin’ Donuts open in Bristow, VA.

Duck Donuts, a favorite of Outer Banks goers, opened to long lines in the Bristow Center shopping area at the corner of Linton Hall Rd. and Rt. 28. Known for their fresh made-to-order while you wait donuts, there was no shortage of customers on a Monday afternoon.

Warm cinnamon sugar donuts are my favorite.

About 2 miles away Dunkin’ Donuts has opened in the old Caribou Coffee location in the Braemar Village Plaza shopping center at the corner of Linton Hall Rd. and Sudley Manor Dr. No more having to brave the crazy traffic on Rt. 29 to get your fix of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in the morning.
