SloDoCo is closing shop in one local city — but opening in another
Popular San Luis Obispo County doughnut chain SloDoCo is closing the doors of its Atascadero location, but North County fans won’t be without their sweet treats for long.
According to a notice posted on the door at 6917 El Camino Real, the Atascadero shop’s last day in business will be Sunday.
“We are deeply grateful for your support and loyalty over the years,” the notice read. “It has been a pleasure serving you, and we hope to continue doing so at all of our other locations.”
The Atascadero spot, which opened in 2019, was the popular local chain’s first expansion from its original location in San Luis Obispo.

The doughnut chain is known for its eclectic offering of unique flavors and colorful, cheeky designs that made the shop a viral sensation way back in 2017.
It has since grown to encompass two locations in San Luis Obispo — one, its flagship on Foothill Boulevard, the other, the converted former Sunshine Donuts on Higuera Street — and its newest shop in Goleta.
The Santa Barbara County spot, the first SloDoCo outside of SLO County, opened in November 2024.
The sign posted in the window of the closing shop also alluded to the chain’s new location, expected to open at 2110 Spring St. in Paso Robles.
When reached for comment by The Tribune, a SloDoCo representative said the business did not yet have a set opening day for the new location, but it was “in the finishing stages of renovation of the building, so it will be very soon!”
“Hopefully within the next few weeks,” the spokesperson said.
They did not provide a reason for the Atascadero’s store’s closing.
