Why Shipley Do-Nuts Is the Franchise Partner For Seasoned Food and Beverage Investors

We are expanding in the Southeast market and partnering with franchisees with food and beverage experience who are committed to growth by providing excellent customer service, being an active part of their community, and reflecting our Shipley Do-Nuts core values. With a Shipley Do-Nuts franchise multi-unit territory, you get unique benefits like training, technology, marketing, real estate support, and much more. You also become part of a brand with a cult-like following that’s relevant and modern and has a core focus on profitability reflected in our franchise advantages. For example, because the inventory required to make our seven-ingredient do-nut dough is mostly composed of dry goods, franchisees only need a storage room of roughly 150 feet; even better, you’ll never have to worry about five common logistical headaches other food franchises come with: no alcohol, no produce, no protein, no freezers, and no servers!

We Provide Comprehensive Training and Support

Shipley Do-Nuts offers a detailed training program – hands on! – in a certified training store. The training takes place over the course of about three weeks, and it includes:
