Sugar Shack Donating Five Cents a Donut
Celebrating Five Years in Alexandria By Raising Funds for ACT for Alexandria
Alexandria, Va. – Sugar Shack Donuts & Coffee of Alexandria, 804 N. Henry Street, is celebrating five years of yummy donuts, smiles and positive community engagement in January by donating five cents for every donut sold to ACT for Alexandria, the community foundation.
“When we opened in Alexandria, we were as committed to being a great neighbor as we were to making the best donuts in the DMV,” said owner Rob Krupicka. “Celebrating our anniversary by supporting one of our favorite local charities is a continuation of that commitment.”
It’s All About the Donuts
The former City Councilman and member of the Virginia House of Delegates fell in love with Sugar Shack donuts when he first tried them during his legislative days in Richmond. He fell so in love that he started his own franchise and gave up politics.
In January 2015, Krupicka opened Sugar Shack’s first DMV location in Alexandria, Va. Since then he has opened stores in Shaw, D.C., Arlington, Va. and Lansdowne, Va. Each store supports a range of neighborhood events and local charities.

Sweet Philanthropy
A dessert fan and former CEO of Act for Alexandria, John Porter told Zebra, “Since its opening in Alexandria, Sugar Shack has stressed the importance of local businesses being involved in and giving back to the community.
They enthusiastically supported ACT through Spring2ACTion from the outset and it’s wonderful to hear they are continuing to support ACT in honor of their fifth anniversary.
And besides that, their doughnuts are fantastic!!!”
