Mornings in Austin will soon be sweeter. Shipley Do-Nuts to expand locally, across Texas
More sweetness is set to come to Austin with the opening of more Shipley Do-Nuts stores.
According to the Austin Business Journal, the Houston-based chain signed deals for 61 new locations across Austin, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Lubbock, Amarillo and El Paso. Exact opening dates are not yet announced, but the journal said Shipley is preparing for rollout to begin in 2025.
It's also unclear exactly how many shops will end up in Austin, but new sales vice president Jonathan Massey told the Austin Business Journal that six are in development with commitments set for 11.

Austin currently has 20 Shipley locations on William Cannon, Brodie Lane, West Parmer Lane and more. The chain boasts coffee, kolaches, cinnamon rolls and, of course, doughnuts of over 60 varieties, such as classic glazed, strawberry-filled and chocolate iced bullseye.
The expansion comes on the heels of management changes, as Shipley hired Massey and franchise recruitment director Fred Frey earlier this month, the journal reported.
