Now the end is in sight. An update from the owner this week says construction is proceeding, equipment and supplies should start arriving next week and then the <strong>grand opening will be right around the corner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3452 size-patch-masonry-image\" src=\"http:\/\/theburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_1916-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Burn first told you about Fractured Prune coming to the Village at Leesburg way back in November 2016. (<a href=\"http:\/\/theburn.com\/2016\/11\/04\/fractured-prune-doughnuts-finds-sweet-new-local-spot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">See the story here<\/a>.) Most recently, they had been hoping to open in June, but as so often happens with construction and new restaurants, things have taken longer than expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The first Fractured Prune\u00a0appeared\u00a0in 1976 in Ocean City, Maryland. It&#8217;s known for its\u00a0<strong>fresh, hot doughnuts where you can pick your own glazes and toppings<\/strong>.\u00a0The funny name comes from Prunella Shriek, a 19th century O.C. resident who got the nickname due to the many broken bones she suffered playing sports into her 70s. (Years ago, Loudoun had two FP locations, including one in downtown Leesburg, but they have since closed.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Village at Leesburg location\u00a0will be owned and operated by Angela Smith, a\u00a0<strong>retired pilot who flew KC-130s in the Marines<\/strong>. She\u2019s making a big career change, so we\u2019re wishing her good luck as she gets ready to open.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_333\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-333\" style=\"width:
