Shipley Do-Nuts Opens First Georgia Location

87-year-old Texas brand now serving its famous fresh do-nuts in Cumming

March 21, 2023 // Franchising.com // HOUSTON - Shipley Do-Nuts, makers of gourmet, made-fresh-daily do-nuts for more than 85 years, brings its do-nuts to Georgia with the opening of its new location in Cumming at 3225 Keith Bridge Road. The shop is locally owned and operated by Oziel “Ozzie” Rodriguez, who also owns Coal Mountain Package Store and Palapas Bar and Grill in Forsyth County, Georgia.

Founded in 1936 in Houston, Shipley Do-Nuts has more than 60 varieties of fresh, hot do-nuts, as well as kolaches (savory breakfast rolls filled with meat, typically sausage), hot coffee and cold brew. Its signature glazed do-nuts, famous for their unique hexagon shape that creates a lighter, fluffier texture and a glaze that provides just the right amount of sweetness, are by far the brand’s bestseller.

“I was looking for a brand to expand my business portfolio, and once I tasted Shipley Do-Nuts, I was hooked,” Rodriguez said. “It’s exciting to bring a  brand like Shipley to a whole new community, and I look forward to introducing the Shipley magic to my friends, neighbors and customers in the Forsyth area.”

Operating as Sweet Donuts Investments Inc., Rodriguez plans to open Shipley Do-Nuts locations in the greater Atlanta area.

“Ozzie knows this community very well, and we are confident that he’ll create a loyal following for Shipley in Forsyth County,” said Shipley CEO Clifton Rutledge.

The shop features a convenient drive-thru plus online ordering and delivery. The shop is open from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. .
