The national donut chain Shipley Do-Nuts will be opening a new outpost at 144 S Brook Dr. in Leander, according to recent public records.

Founded in neighboring Houston, Shipley Do-Nuts boasts more than 300 franchised stores in the Southern US states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, with Colorado being a notable outlier. The brand has proven itself to be a resilient force in the donut market, withstanding the popularity of national rivals Krispy Kreme, Dunkin’, and others.

Costing an estimated $250,000, the construction work will consist of a “1,735 interior tenant build out of a new donut shop including MEP”. Construction is expected to wrap up in February of 2025.

The location will be spearheaded by franchisee David Howell who also runs a Fajita Pete’s location in Dallas on top of being the CFO for Hat Creek Burger Company.
