A Texas Brand with Nearly a Century of History
Shipley Do-Nuts is one of the most iconic and recognized donut brands in America, and it all started in Texas.
Founded in 1936 in Houston byLawrence Shipley Sr., the brand began during the Great Depression. Lawrence Sr. perfected a hand-cut donut recipe, served hot all day. Sold for five cents a dozen, the brand’s focus on quality and freshness sparked a “do-nut revolution.”
Shipley Do-Nuts was built on a simple yet powerful concept: fresh-made donuts using a proprietary recipe that has remained virtually unchanged for nearly 90 years. Today, Shipley Do-Nuts has grown into a 300+ location franchise system across the United States, all while maintaining its headquarters in Texas—making it one of the Lone Star State’s most successful restaurant franchise exports.
Navigating Franchise & Landlord Approval
Franchise resales are significantly more complex than independent restaurant sales. Every buyer must be approved by the franchisor and the landlord, and the seller must comply with strict transfer procedures, financial disclosures, and operational handoff requirements.
EATS Broker managed the entire process from listing through closing, including:
• Buyer qualification and financial screening
• Franchise transfer coordination with Shipley Do-Nuts corporate
• Landlord lease approval and assignment
• Transaction management through escrow and closing
