HOUSTON — Shipley Do-Nuts is expanding its national footprint with a 30-unit development deal that will bring the donut brand to New Mexico and Florida.
The agreement with Vik Agrawal, a current Shipley franchisee, will bring 10 shops to various counties in New Mexico and 20 shops to the Miami-Dade area, both new markets for the brand. One shop is expected to open in each state in the next 12 months.
“Vik is an ideal Shipley franchisee, bringing multi-unit, multi-brand experience, a growth mentality and operational infrastructure to open and operate units across several markets,” said Jonathan Massey, VP of franchising at Shipley. “We are looking forward to working with his team to make life delicious for future fans in New Mexico and South Florida.”
Agrawal, a multi-unit franchise operator with nearly 20 years of experience and roughly 100 locations across various brands, has one Shipley Do-Nuts location in Laredo, TX, with agreements to open five more in the Rio Grande Valley area.
“My first Shipley Do-Nuts location in Laredo has proved out the business model, and I’m committed to quickly growing the brand in New Mexico and South Florida,” Agrawal said. “Shipley is a strong brand that is gaining momentum as it enters new markets and people discover the greatness of the product.”
In May 2024, Shipley boosted its growth trajectory with an expanded team to lead the development of new store locations. The donut brand is set to open its first Virginia location within the next several months and has franchise opportunities in 46 states.
