Daylight Donuts Comes to Candler — Sweetness Is Just Minutes from Asheville!
📜 A Sweet Slice of History
Daylight Donuts began back in 1954 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when founders Tommy and Lucille Day set out to create a lighter, fluffier yeast‑raised donut using a unique flour blend that quickly gained a loyal following. Their humble operation grew from selling donut mix out of their car into a thriving business with shops popping up across the country. Today, Daylight Donuts is a beloved national brand with hundreds of locations in the U.S. spanning about 29 states — and counting — and even reaching international markets. Each shop is independently owned and operated, giving local owners the freedom to make their donuts with heart.
From classic glazed and chocolate to creative seasonal flavors, kolaches, and breakfast pastries, Daylight Donuts has become a staple for communities craving both nostalgic and innovative sweet treats. Their locations deliver donuts fresh daily, often paired with coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and more — perfect for morning runs or afternoon indulgences.
🍩 A Candler Sweet Spot
We first discovered Daylight Donuts during some highway travels around Johnson City, TN, where a location greeted us and another was already underway — proof that fans love these treats! Most recently, while out last‑minute Christmas shopping, we spotted the Daylight Donuts sign in Candler, NC, and the excitement was instant. With one already open in Waynesville, NC, now Asheville’s donut scene is about to get even sweeter.
From fresh donuts and pastries to kolaches and coffee — and even bubble tea at some locations — this spot promises something for every craving. Trust us: this delicious destination is worth the ride. We can’t wait to see this place open and to grab our first box of fresh donuts! 🍩☕️
🎉 Candler — we’ll see you soon!
