Two things that will allow your Shipley bakery to stay ahead of the competition right away are our well-known name and our menu, with more than 60 delicious items to choose from. Keep reading to learn more about starting a donut shop that stands out in your community.
Shipley’s Full Menu Makes Starting a Do-nut Shop Business Easy
One of the first things you have to do when starting any quick-service restaurant business is to build a menu. If you’re opening your business from scratch, this can take a lot of time and effort. You have to test recipes, ensure all the ingredients and flavors work, and then see if customers are interested in what you offer. After all that effort, you may find that no one likes the items you’ve come up with, which can make the entire process even more frustrating and difficult.
Shipley franchise owners don’t have to worry about this step. We’ve made it simple to get going and easy to stand out from the rest of the crowd. Our menu has more than 60 varieties of baked goods to choose from. All of them have been tested and customer-approved throughout the years. There’s no need to worry about wasting time or money on menu items that just won’t work. We’ve figured it all out, so the menu guesswork is a step you can skip.
Adjust Our Menu Variety to Fit Your Business Needs
Although we know all of our menu items are high-quality and taste great, we also know that not every item is going to sell the same way at every location. Being a franchisee means you have the ability to adjust your variety of donuts and pastries to suit the needs of your community. Starting a donut shop with Shipley means you’re going to get to know your local area very well. Once you know what your customers love, you can tweak the variety of donuts to fit their preferences.
When starting your franchise, you can begin with a smaller menu and expand to the full version as you grow, giving your customers a chance to enjoy new items at your bakery from time to time. You may also want to test out our full menu and customize to a smaller one if you notice some items just aren’t selling as quickly as others.

Although you have the ability to adjust things like your menu variety, that doesn’t mean you have to figure out how to start a donut shop without any help. Shipley has more than 85 years of experience, and you can use that experience to make sure starting your franchise is as easy as possible.
