Join us for a Ribbon Cutting celebrating Shipley Do-Nuts!
In 1936, Lawrence Shipley wanted to create a gourmet donut so tasty that it would withstand the test of time. Cut by hand and served hot throughout the day, Shipley Do-Nuts were five cents a dozen and only available wholesale. But within four short years, they proved so popular that Lawrence began offering them to the public. As the business grew, life became much busier for Lawrence and his family.
Lawrence Jr. carried on his father’s vision and worked in the family business his entire life. Under his leadership the menu was expanded, and Shipley went beyond its original Texas location to include more than 190 stores across six states. Today, Shipley Do-Nuts is a fast-growing QSR franchise brand with over 360 locations and counting.
At the heart of every Shipley Do-Nuts bakery are the core values that have made us a beloved brand for over four generations. Our people, our process, and our products define us, and we strive to provide an experience found nowhere else on earth.
