It all started in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The idea and name for Duck Donuts originated in Duck, North Carolina, where my family and I vacationed for many years. We enjoyed all there was to see and do in the quiet, family-oriented town, but we noticed there was nowhere to get that sweet staple of happiness—a warm, fresh donut. What started as a whim developed into fun recipe sessions, many months of research and collaboration, and eventually led to the first Duck Donuts opening in the town of Duck, NC, in 2007! We soon found that our warm, delicious, and made-to-order donuts paired with a great selection of coffees were a recipe for success! We expanded to other locations and states and added many franchise owners to our Duck Donuts family. Along the way, we have kept our focus on delighting our guests by offering a welcoming, family-friendly and delicious experience to everyone that visits one of our shops. The teams who manage and work in our stores make all the difference and we are very proud of their dedication and contributions.

Allied Blending & Ingredients, Inc. (ABI) has a rich and lengthy tradition in the food ingredients industry. From a small and simple food-ingredients distributor, the company has evolved into a multi-dimensional manufacturing enterprise that deals in proprietary, value-added food blends and a diverse range of functional products that specialty food manufacturers have depended on for over 30 years. Allied Starch & Chemical was formed as the parent holding company in 1995 and, in May 2005, the company acquired Ingredients Unlimited, Inc. in the Bell Gardens district of Los Angeles, which today is a southern California production and service center. That same year, in November, Allied Starch & Chemical purchased Del Rancho LP in Sachse, Texas. Similar to the Ingredients Unlimited purchase, Allied Starch & Chemical retained the Del Rancho presence in the Dallas area as the production and service center for the Southwest. In 2006, to better identify the parent company and its association with both long-standing and recently acquired product brands, Allied Starch & Chemical underwent a name change to Allied Blending & Ingredients, Inc. the name our customers look to for superior and consistent quality products.
Siete Family Foods is a family owned business born out of a necessity to make food that the entire family can eat and enjoy. They make gluten-free, grain-free tortillas with a few simple ingredients, offering a delicious alternative to flour tortillas, a pantry staple in most Texas homes and restaurants. Co-owner and founder, Veronica Garza, started making the tortillas several years ago after committing to a gluten-free diet to alleviate symptoms of lupus and other autoimmune conditions. The tortillas were a big help in allowing her to continue enjoying meals like Mexican fajitas and breakfast tacos with her family and friends in Laredo, Texas. Siete is owned by Aida, Veronica, and Miguel Garza and operates out of a completely gluten free kitchen in Austin, Texas. This mother, daughter, brother team hope that their tortillas can bring the same joy to your family and friends as it has brought to theirs.
