Shipley Do-Nuts is headquartered in which Texas city?

Shipley Do-Nuts is headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company began there in 1936, when Lawrence Shipley opened a bakery and sold warm doughnuts made from his family’s recipe.

The original bakery operated at 1417 Crockett Street in Houston. Shipley’s business expanded through the Southern United States, but Houston remained central to its identity and corporate operations. The company’s headquarters are listed at 5200 North Main in Houston.

Readers sometimes confuse the headquarters with the locations of the chain’s many franchisees. Shipley Do-Nuts has expanded beyond Texas into states including Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Maryland and Colorado, but its home city remains Houston.
