A Portland-based doughnut shop known for its eccentric flavors is expanding to Tacoma.

Voodoo Doughnut, the pink-themed chain, is set to sweeten up 2702 6th Ave., according to The Puget Sound Business Journal.

This will mark Voodoo Doughnut’s third Puget Sound area location, joining outposts in Seattle’s Capitol Hill and the newly opened Bellevue shop.

Construction has not yet begun on the new location, but the outlet reported plans call for a full interior buildout along with permits for signage, a mural and exterior upgrades.

Founded in downtown Portland in 2003 by Kenneth “Cat Daddy” Pogson and Tres Shannon, Voodoo has built a cult following with offbeat creations. 

Standouts include the “Voodoo Doll,” filled with raspberry jelly and topped with chocolate, and the “Bacon Maple Bar,” finished with maple frosting and bacon. “The Homer” features a raised ring with pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles, while “Oh Captain, My Captain” is topped with vanilla frosting and Cap’n Crunch cereal.

Alongside these playful options, the shop offers traditional staples such as raised glazed and blueberry cake.

Voodoo Doughnuts also offers custom donuts for weddings, birthdays and other special occasions, along with branded merchandise.

The brand currently operates 26 stores in nine states, including Oregon, Washington, Texas, California, Colorado, Arizona, Tennessee, Florida and Illinois. New York will soon join its growing portfolio.

An official opening date for the Tacoma location has not been announced. Visit the Voodoo Doughnut website or follow the chain on Instagram and Facebook for the latest updates.
