With a whopping 60 varieties of doughnuts available—including kolaches, cinnamon rolls, and even coffee—there’s definitely something for everyone, whether you lean classic or desire something unique.
Expanding Sweetness in Colorado
Shipley Do-Nuts isn’t a stranger to the Colorado scene.

The franchise group, Meisternuts, is aiming to open an additional 15 locations scattered across Colorado Springs and the metro Denver area. That means more deliciousness is on the way!
Facing the Doughnut Competition
Sure, there’s no shortage of competition in the doughnut game. Big names like Krispy Kreme, Dunkin’, and Hurts Donut Co. are all vying for attention, alongside local gems like Amy’s Donuts and Horseshoe Donuts.
