What’s The Creepy Buzz Around Voodoo Doughnuts?

Voodoo Doughnuts was founded by friends and entertainment-oriented Portlanders Kenneth “Cat Daddy” Pogson and Tres Shannon. All they wanted was to open a doughnut shop since there was none in downtown Portland. Soon enough, they opened the first Voodoo Doughnut shop in Old Town, where they specialized in both world-famous traditional and unconventional donuts.

Their shop was headed for success a month after they inaugurated it; they garnered national TV attention after they were featured in popular shows such as Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, MTV, and The Amazing Race. As of 2023, Voodoo Doughnuts has 19 locations across seven states. Fans have attributed their success to their imaginative and unique donut options. Some fans even asked for more expansions. With this, Voodoo Doughnut aims to expand their locations further to serve new customers. 

Check out some of their unique donut menu offerings:

From The Club

Voodoo Doughnut definitely has that unique touch that no other donut shop has. They stuck to a creepy horror concept and created uniquely flavored donuts that attracted their customers. As for the Spooky Summer Half Dozen, I’m intrigued to try the Watermelon Jack-O-Lantern doughnut as I never had a watermelon-flavored doughnut, maybe this can be a change for my usual raspberry jelly donut? I’m also keeping an eye on the I Scream Cone and Diablos Rex flavors. I hope my city is included when Voodoo Doughnut decides to expand their location.
