Voodoo Doughnut brings its iconic pastry treats to Bellevue

Voodoo Doughnut plans to open its newest location in Bellevue, the company announced.

The official opening date has not been announced; however, Voodoo has released that the new donut shop will be located at 10713 Main Street.

Voodoo Doughnut plans new location in Bellevue

Voodoo Doughnut currently operates 24 locations across seven states, with its first-ever location opening in Portland, Oregon in 2003.

The latest addition by Voodoo Doughnut is Washington’s third location, including Capitol Hill and Vancouver.

Voodoo Doughnut is known for its non-traditional, unconventional donut styles and creative, ever-changing designs, including the fan-favorite Voodoo Doll—a donut filled with raspberry jelly, topped with chocolate icing, and a pretzel stick.

Chris Shultz, the Voodoo Doughnuts Chief Executive Officer (CFO), has been with the company since 2017, and formerly held the position of Senior Vice President of Operations for MOD Pizza, expanding MOD Pizza from one location to 350 restaurants.

“We’re excited to bring Voodoo to Bellevue,” Chris Schultz said, according to KIRO 7. “The city has a great energy and a strong sense of community that fits perfectly with our brand.”

Voodoo Doughnut history

Two Portland native friends, Kenneth “Cat Daddy” Pogson and Tres Shannon, founded Voodoo Doughnut to fill a void in Portland, which at the time lacked a donut shop.

Pogson and Shannon rented a small storefront between two nightclubs in Old Town in 2003 and strived to achieve “world doughnut domination.”

The original Voodoo Doughnut location has hosted a variety of non-donut-related activities, including weddings, concerts, and weekly Swahili lessons.

Voodoo Doughnut garnered national attention within a month of its opening, and has since been featured in a variety of media outlets, including Good Morning America, GQ, Wheel of Fortune, and People Magazine.
