The national donut chain Shipley Do-Nuts will be opening a new outpost at 2255 South Semoran Boulevard in Orlando, accoridng to recent public records. The location is part of a major central Florida expansion spearheaded by MLD Hospitality.
Michael Burns, leader of MLD Hospitality, is quoted in a prepared statement: “The do-nuts are so fresh — like your mom just made them and served them to you still warm. Nothing on the market compares, and we think the people of Orlando, plus the many visitors to the area, will embrace Shipley Do-Nuts just as we did.”
“Florida has been an area of focus for us, and we really got the ball rolling with this latest signing in Orlando,” says Shipley Do-Nuts CEO Clifton Rutledge. “Shipley is gaining recognition among potential franchisees who are seeing highly qualified, multi-unit operators investing in our brand, and then when they try the product for themselves, they are hooked. It’s simply the World’s Greatest Do-Nut.”
Founded by Lawrence Shipley in Houston, Shipley Do-Nuts has expanded throughout the United States, with notable concentrations in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. Apart from donuts, the chain serves cinnamon rolls, creme-filled bars and donut holes, cake, coffee and kolaches.
