Is Federal Donuts bringing wild flavors, fried chicken to South Jersey?
EVESHAM – The doughnuts are coming, the doughnuts are coming.
Apparently, a popular Philadelphia-based doughnut restaurant, which also sells fried chicken, is crossing the Delaware River and coming into South Jersey.
While nothing is official and things could always change, Federal Donuts will reportedly have a location at the Marlton Square Shopping Center, according to the center’s website. It will be the chain’s first New Jersey location.
Evesham Township said through a spokesperson: "The Township is aware of the listing of 'Federal Donuts' on the website for the Marlton Square Shopping Center. However, as of this time, the Office of Community Development has not received any permit/inspection requests or application submissions to any boards."
The chain offers unique and scrumptious-sounding doughnut flavors. How about pralines & cream, Chocolate Cake Old-Fashioned, Strawberry Lavender, cookies n cream, Blackberry Crumble, Spice Pear a La Mode or Lavender London Fog?
Where is South Jersey's first Federal Donuts likely going?
Marlton Square is at 300 Route 73, located at the intersection of Routes 73 and Route 70. The 87,000-square-foot property already includes a Trader Joe’s, Carlo’s Bakery, Playa Bowls, Starbucks, Bluemercury, Turning Point, Ethan Allen, Chopt and more.
The shopping center is across the highway from the Marlton Crossing shopping center, which includes Chickie’s & Pete’s, Sprouts Farmers Market, Burlington Stores and many other shops and eateries.
In addition to all of the interesting doughnuts, Federal Donuts also has four different types of chicken sandwich offerings, chicken wings, chicken tenders, fried chicken salad and fries. There are also plenty of coffee options.
Federal Donuts has not said when the South Jersey shop will open.
