Shipley donuts was founded in 1936 when the founder Lawrence Shipley came up with the gourmet recipe of the famous shipley donut. One of the key factors in this new donuts success was that it was served warm. This made the donut melt in your mouth and instantly made you want more. When the company was first started the donuts were sold for 5 cents a dozen so when you took one there were plenty more. This strategy kept the customer coming back which allowed shipley donuts to prosper the way it did. these donuts quickly became popular and in 1940 they became open to the retail market.

today there are over 240 retail stores collectively in Mississippi, Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Arkansa. the company has branched out and is now selling over 60 different products including Kolaches, a variety of donuts, muffins, rolls, and much more. shipley donuts continues to provide the south with the fresh and warm donuts that has everyone wishing they were still sold for 5 cents a dozen.
