HOUSTON — Shipley Do-Nuts, one of the nation’s oldest and largest do-nut brands, has plans to open 61 new locations throughout Texas. So far, six shops have opened in 2024.
Shipley’s development team takes a full-service approach to franchise development, providing franchisees with cost-saving guidance on everything from real estate to design and construction, as well as shortening the timeframe from signing to opening.
“Our goal is to be substantially faster than the industry standard 12-month timeline from signing to cash registers ringing,” said Sizemore. “We have a robust development pipeline, and we want to help our franchisees get their shops open faster so they can quickly realize the power and potential of our growing brand.”
So far this year, Shipley’s, which was founded in Houston in 1936, has opened six shops in Texas and Oklahoma. As the brand expands its national footprint, new locations in Colorado, Florida, Maryland and North Carolina are on track to open in 2024.
“Our growth at Shipley is being driven by existing franchisees who are taking the opportunity to open additional units and system newcomers who want to bring Shipley to new markets,” said Shipley Do-Nuts CEO Flynn Dekker. “Keith and his experienced team are hitting the ground running to meet our aggressive growth goals.”
In Q3 2023, for the first time in Shipley’s 88-year history, the company opened territories for development in the Midwest, including Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri and Ohio.
