Make Life Delicious with Shipley Do-Nuts Franchise Opportunities

Shipley Do-Nuts is a beloved bakery and coffeehouse based in Houston, Texas. Established in 1936, Shipley was privately held through three generations of the Shipley family until 2021, and we currently have 334 locations across nine U.S. states. We are well known for our 60+ varieties of do-nuts and kolaches, baked fresh daily with only seven ingredients.

Why Shipley Do-Nuts Is the Franchise Partner For You

We are looking to grow the number of stores in our expanding Southeast market and are eager to partner with franchisees who are committed to building a business for 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, 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:
