Kirkwood is about to get a little stranger. Strange Donuts co-owner Corey Smale confirmed that its mysterious second location will open at 107½ E. Argonne Drive, in Kirkwood, as reported by Real/TimeSTL and Feast.
The popular Maplewood doughnut shop, known for unique flavor collaborations with local chefs, announced its second shop in March. Since then, rumors of its location have flown around Twitter. Smale initially intended to keep the address hidden until opening day, but now that the secret is out, he spoke highly of Strange Donuts’ new home.
“When we came to Maplewood, we were very lucky in the sense that we were welcomed into a community that is very supportive of small businesses,” he said. “Kirkwood was the right opportunity at the time … The space was right and the community over there is really strong and they are pro small business.” Smale plans to open doors in Kirkwood sometime in July.
