Shipley Donuts Celebrates Success with 18th Consecutive Quarter of Growth

Shipley Donuts, the leading brand in fresh, handcrafted donuts and kolaches in the United States, has proudly announced that it has achieved its 18th consecutive quarter of positive sales growth as of the second quarter of 2025. This remarkable accomplishment is accompanied by the exciting news of the brand's strategic expansion into two new states, further solidifying its presence across the country.

The momentum began with the brand's recent entry into Virginia, marked by the opening of a new location in Lynchburg in June 2025. This expansion not only adds to the brand’s portfolio but also signifies its growth into 14 states, allowing customers in new regions to experience Shipley’s renowned quality. The company has also signed a deal to establish its first location in Missouri, with plans to set up shop in Branson by early 2026.

Flynn Dekker, the CEO of Shipley Donuts, stated, "Our ongoing success and expansion are rooted firmly in our commitment to delivering high-quality products and the strong partnerships we maintain with our franchise operators. The achievement of 18 consecutive quarters of growth is a direct reflection of the dedication our team shows in bringing Shipley’s unique taste to communities all across America."

In addition to these new locations, Shipley Donuts is on course to shatter records by opening over 40 new shops by the end of 2025. Ten of these openings are set for the third quarter, which includes a flagship location in the highly anticipated Nashville Yards development in Nashville, Tennessee. With more than 200 units already in development, the brand is poised for continued success and expansion.

The initial quarter of 2025 served as a launchpad for these ambitions; it was during this time that Shipley opened its first location in North Carolina and signed a bustling 30-unit development agreement to extend its reach into New Mexico and South Florida.

For those interested in joining the rapidly growing Shipley Donuts family, franchise opportunities are open throughout the South, Southeast, and Midwest. Interested operators can find more information about these opportunities at ownashipleydonuts.com.
