Houston’s landscape is about to get a bit sweeter with the announcement of a new Shipley Do-Nuts location opening at 14531 Westheimer Rd c, a project spearheaded by Franchisee Michael Knobelock. While Knobelock was unavailable for comment, documents filed with the city reveal an ambitious plan that blends tradition with innovation, setting the stage for a new era of growth for the iconic Texas brand.
With an estimated cost of $350,000, the renovation and alteration work outlined in the permit indicates a significant investment in not just the physical space—which spans 1,530 square feet—but in the customer experience as well. The scope of work includes tenant infill designed specifically for point of sale and mercantile operation, suggesting that Knobelock and his team are gearing up to offer something beyond the usual fare of delicious donuts and coffee.
Scheduled to start in July 2024, and aiming for completion by November 2024, the project’s timeline underscores a swift yet calculated approach to bringing the new location to life. The renovation plans seem to promise a blend of Shipley Do-Nuts‘ cherished heritage with modern touches, potentially setting a benchmark for future expansions within the franchise.
