‘Grateful for the memories’: This quaint Charlotte doughnut shop is closing its NoDa spot
After the end of the month, NoDa Charlotte will have one less doughnut shop.
Pepperbox Doughnuts is known for its freshly baked, creatively topped doughnuts — including many that are vegan. The local spot has two locations: its original in South End and the newer one in NoDa, which will close at the end of the month. The South End shop will remain open.
Pepperbox announced the closing via Instagram, hinting that the news is not all sad: “The end of an era has come, as we will be closing our NoDa location on May 31st. We are so grateful for the memories and friends made at this location, and the support we have received from our friends here in NoDa,” the shop posted. “While this chapter closes for Pepperbox, we are SO excited for what’s coming next to this space … and we think you all will be too.”

The NoDa chapter of Pepperbox Doughnuts opened in 2021 in a former mill house on North Davidson Street. “It’s always been our goal to open multiple locations,” owner Alex Beebe told CharlotteFive at the time.
Charlotte Business Journal reported the news in its morning newsletter.
