We are so excited to present our conversation with Duck Donuts CEO Betsy Hamm this week on The Cutting Onions Podcast!!! Betsy has such an inspiring leadership journey, including her time at Hershey Entertainment & Resorts and then joining Duck Donuts as Marketing Director, becoming COO, and then being named CEO at Duck Donuts right before COVID changed the world. She talked about how she navigated and led through the last couple of years and built relationships that thrived during a very difficult season, which helped the entire Duck Donuts team and franchise community adjust to all the challenges that COVID presented.

Myles and I also talked to Betsy about how those efforts have helped her build and protect the 109 unit franchise international brand, even through COVID, while growing it through grassroots marketing efforts and driving revenue. Leading by example and working alongside her team, Betsy is providing the tools and resources necessary to assure the franchise community of Duck Donuts is successful.

We also talked about what the future looks like for Duck Donuts, and the exciting growth plan for the brand that is on the horizon! Betsy also shared her thoughts about the industry and what she is curious about as we exit COVID and look to the future, and how Duck Donuts is prepared to respond to the ever changing landscape of our industry.
