RICHARDSON, Texas – (Feb. 12, 2015) – KDC, one of America’s leading commercial real estate development and investment firms, today announced that Top Pot Donuts will join CityLine, the company’s 186-acre mixed-use project in Richardson, Texas.

Top Pot offers made-daily varieties of hand-forged donuts, fresh roasted coffee, locally made pastries, and a variety of sandwiches. Menu items include over forty kinds of donuts with zero grams of trans fat, including the old fashioned, cake, filled and fritter. The exceptional quality, vintage aesthetic, and personal customer service is designed to get the customer’s day started out right.

“We are so please that Top Pot chose CityLine for its Plano location,” said KDC Vice President, Colin Fitzgibbons.

“Top Pot will become part of the morning and lunch routine for those wanting a quick and fresh item while walking to work or just taking a break from the office.”
