A Legacy of Love for Doughnuts

Now, for a little backstory, Shipley Do-Nuts was founded way back in 1936 in Houston, Texas. They’re famous for their signature hexagon-shaped plain glazed doughnuts, and trust us, they’re worth every calorie! With over 60 varieties of doughnuts to choose from, including kolaches, cinnamon rolls, bear claws, and coffee, there is something for everyone—whether you like it classic or with a little flair.

Expanding in the Centennial State

Shipley Do-Nuts isn’t new to Colorado. The doughnut chain opened its first location in Fountain in late 2019, followed by another store in far north Colorado Springs in October 2023. And the plans don’t stop here! The franchisee group, known as Meisternuts, has ambitious plans to open an additional 15 locations across Colorado Springs and metro Denver. So, if you’re a fan of doughnuts, get ready for a whole lot more in the near future!

Joining a Sweet Lineup of Competition

Sure, they’ve got some competition in the area. Other national brands like Krispy Kreme, Dunkin’, and Hurts Donut Co. are in the ring, along with local favorites like Amy’s Donuts and Horseshoe Donuts. Meisternuts is welcoming this competition, as they believe it drives them to improve and better meet the sweet cravings of the local community. After all, who doesn’t love a good doughnut fight?

More Texas Brands Join the Party

Shipley Do-Nuts isn’t the only Texas brand making waves in Colorado Springs. Whataburger has opened seven locations, and Torchy’s Tacos is serving up its delicious eats at two locations. Not to be outdone, Buc-ee’s is also eyeing an opening in Palmer Lake. It looks like Texas brands are putting roots down in the Pikes Peak region!
