These Two Shops Have The Best Donuts In West Virginia
I’m sure some people will disagree, but thousands of West Virginians claim that the best donuts in West Virginia, and maybe even the whole world, can be found in Parkersburg.
But for decades they have battled over one remaining question: which donut shop?
There are two popular businesses in Parkersburg that serve amazing donuts, and it’s hard to know which to choose. After a visit to Parkersburg, tourists have an important decision to make: Team JR’s or Team McHappy’s?
JR's first started as The Donut Castle in 1969. The donuts are baked fresh daily in the shop where they are sold. JR's makes the donuts from scratch from the same recipe that they've used for the past 30 years, and they are delicious! The store can be found at 3318 Emerson Ave, Parkersburg WV, 26104.
McHappy's has been around since 1972. It now has five total locations, with two in West Virginia. Donuts are baked fresh daily at a central location. They advertise that the donuts are preservative free and free from trans-fat. They've been baking donuts with the same recipe for the past 40 years.
McHappy's can be found at 1116 7th Street and 161 Dupont Road in Parkersburg.
I think I’ll need to try several donuts from each of these locations. Which one is your favorite?
