Anniversary Specials Abound At Daylight Donuts of Dacono
By Jan Sciacca
How does one become so well known in a community like Dacono that when one references “Linda or Linda Lou in Dacono,” nearly everyone knows who you mean? Take a few minutes to stop by and say hello to Linda Lou Allour who co-owns Daylight Donuts of Dacono with her husband Patrick, and you’ll know why her name is synonymous with “community friend”. Daylight Donuts began nationally 50 years ago when Tommy and Lucille Day wanted to create a new kind of donut mix – one with a distinctively light texture and flavor. That recipe became Daylight Donuts. Today, the worldwide network of independently owned retail outlets numbers 900 and is growing. Daylight Donuts was established in Dacono in 1984 when the Martinez brothers built the shopping center. The Allours bought it in October 2002. Patrick and Linda were searching for something to replace their roofing business and a business where they could work together. They believed that since Linda has a business Administration degree from Regis, the type of business they should purchase didn’t really matter. But they had both previously worked in a donut shop so Daylight Donuts seemed like the perfect fit. The Allour’s primary mission is to provide a quality product. But, they also love to be part of the surrounding
communities. They have been involved in and supported countless fundraisers and events over the past 12 yrs. The donut shop’s walls are adorned with numerous community honors and awards. Customers and friends drive to Daylight Donuts of Dacono from everywhere! Typically the client base is from the Tri-towns, Erie, Longmont, Mead, Hudson, and Ft. Lupton. However, it’s becoming more common to see customers making a special trip from Greeley and Boulder just for the donuts. The Allours have transformed the donut shop into “more” than just donuts. They carry 14 Blue Bell ice cream flavors, along with smoothies, cabbage burgers, biscuits & gravy and breakfast sandwiches. They have gluten free items, also. They even offer doggy donuts for beloved furry friends. The store is open every day until 9 pm. Customers who place special or large orders are encouraged to give the couple a day’s notice. Because they have a motto “No donut should go homeless!” they always try to find a home for any day old product. They donate to the Seniors, homeless shelters and local residents. Patrick and Linda have been married since 1996 and have one daughter, Danielle and two grandchildren, Tayler & Gary. Although Patrick and Linda work about 80 hours each week, Linda makes time to help care for her father who lives in Firestone. The couple has little extra time but they cherish cruising in their 1932 Durant when possible. The Daylight Donut team also includes long term employee Debbie Bobbett of Dacono. The Allours commend her by saying she is a joy to work with and customers love her. November 20 is the donut shop’s annual Anniversary Sale. Starting Nov 1, every time you visit the shop, enter to win a door prize, or one of 4 turkeys to be given away! The drawing is held November 20 (need not be present to win). The famous donut special is back
where one can purchase one dozen glazed donuts for $1.99 (limit 2 dozen). November also marks the limited offering of Linda’s strawberry/rhubarb or blueberry/rhubarb pies with her specialty cake donut crumb topping or a traditional top crust. The pies are $10.99 and are available Nov 1 – December 24. Pies need to be ordered one day in advance. Linda says, “Thank you, Communities, for your support. We love being part of the Carbon Valley. We continue to work hard to make a great donut, add variety to our menu and give back when we can.” She adds, “Every day presents many memorable moments. Making a special donut with a candle, getting invited to a 5 year-old’s birthday party, making friends with customers, the sadness when a customer passes away, customers come to show you their new baby, new puppy, help raise money for someone in need, laughing and joking on a daily basis with customers . . .the list is long,” The Allours are working on a website which will be available in early 2015 - DaylightDonutsofDacono.com. They encourage readers to “like” them on Facebook and to watch for more specials and news. Daylight Donuts of Dacono is located at 821 Carbondale Drive, Dacono and is open Mon – Sat, 5am – 9pm and Sun. 7am-9pm. The phone number is 303-833-2009 and an email contact (until the new website is done) is DaconoDaylight@aol.com.
