New shop now serving fresh, hot donuts, kolaches
and coffee in Concord
HOUSTON, Feb. 19,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fast-growing Shipley Do-Nuts,
one of the nation's largest donut and kolache brands, has opened
its first North Carolina location
at 31 Optical Ct. NW in Concord,
just north of Charlotte.
Founded in 1936 in Houston,
Shipley offers more than 60 varieties of fresh donuts, handmade
daily, including its signature plain glazed, cut in the iconic
Shipley hexagon shape, plus filled, iced and cake donuts, bear
claws, coffee and more.
Shipley is also known for its kolaches (kuh-LAH-chees) — savory
pastries with fillings baked inside — and offers them in several
fresh, house-made varieties, including Bacon, Egg & Cheese, Ham
& Cheese, and Sausage, Jalapeno & Cheese.
Locally owned by husband-and-wife team John and Lillian Brijeski, the new Concord location will offer a "Hot Glazed
Donut Guarantee" from 5-11 a.m.
daily, meaning guests can count on getting warm, melt-in-your-mouth
glazed donuts when visiting the shop during these hours.
"It's a big responsibility to introduce a legacy brand to a new
state, but we are confident Shipley's variety of sweet and savory
options will be a big hit throughout our community," said
Lillian Brijeski. "Whether it's
fresh, warm donuts or signature savory kolaches, we look forward to
serving a menu that deliciously meets breakfast and snack-time
needs."
Shipley plans to grow its footprint in the Tar Heel State and
currently has five additional Charlotte-area locations in its development
pipeline. North Carolina is a
priority market for the brand, which is actively recruiting
franchisees for additional markets throughout the state, including
Raleigh-Durham, Greensboro and Winston-Salem. It has upcoming discovery days
in North Carolina in Raleigh and Charlotte on April
22 and 24.
"Our expansion into North
Carolina is a strategic step in our brand's growth, allowing
us to bring our signature donuts to a new community while
strengthening our national presence," said Shipley Do-Nuts CEO
Flynn Dekker. "This opening
officially brings our brand's footprint to 13 states — a baker's
dozen — and we know John, Lillian and their team will be making
life delicious for North Carolina
residents who are experiencing Shipley for the first time."
Shipley is expanding nationally with available markets in 46
states. For more information, visit ownashipleydonuts.com.
