The company announced that it has signed a development deal to open five shops in the area. This will be the first time Shipley’s Donuts will have franchises in Northwest Louisiana. Shipley’s currently offers more than 60 varieties of fresh donuts, all handmade daily.
The first Shipley’s location is expected to open in late 2026, with four additional shops to follow over the next three years. The expansion deal will be led by local residents Steve Watkins and Walter Bigby. The pair currently operates five Zaxby franchises and two Jersey Mike’s locations in Shreveport-Bossier.
“We were specifically looking for an iconic, growing donut franchise, and Shipley’s average unit volume growth, particularly with new store openings, really impressed us,” said Watkins. “The brand’s leadership is focused on smart, strategic growth, which aligns perfectly with our business philosophy.”
According to the press release, the brand has more than 200 locations in development and is actively seeking qualified franchises for key markets.
