Donut stop believing, Richmond!
Richmond is about to get a whole lot sweeter as one of our community members (@antfunni) spotted signs for Lee’s Donuts in Steveston.
This will be their first Richmond outpost and will be located a couple blocks from the Fisherman’s Wharf and with a stellar waterfront view.
Lee’s Donuts isn’t just any doughnut shop; it’s a story of passion, tradition, and sugary goodness that began in 1968.
When Betty-Ann and Alan Lee decided to ditch their government jobs for something sweeter, they embarked on a journey that would lead to the creation of one of Vancouver’s most cherished doughnut destinations in the Granville Island Public Market by the summer of ’79.
For decades, Lee’s Donuts has been a staple for those in search of simple, yet irresistible doughnuts.
After Alan’s passing in 2014, Betty-Ann handed over the reins to Allan and Celine Bacani, who were not only long-time customers but also passionate about preserving the legacy of Lee’s Donuts.
Under their ownership, the brand has expanded A LOT.
Back in February we spotted the brand making its way to Amazing Brentwood, which is slated to open in Fall 2024.
According to the signage, Lee’s Donuts Steveston is scheduled to open this summer 2024.
That means you’ll be able to enjoy the beautiful Steveston water views with a donut in hand this summer!
