OPEN A DESERT DONUTS IN YOUR COMMUNITY

Join a Movement That’s Heating Up 🍩🚀 The magic of Desert Donuts is spreading, and we’re just getting started! What began as a mission to serve the perfect, cook-to-order donut has grown into a thriving regional brand with three successful locations already making waves. From our flagship corporate shop in Phoenix, Arizona, to our two flourishing franchise locations in Greenwood Village and Highlands Ranch, Colorado, we’ve proven that our "Made When You Order" model isn't just a treat—it's a destination. Our expansion into the Colorado market has shown that whether it’s the desert heat or the mountain air, people crave the experience of a hot, fresh donut and a brand with a heart. As we celebrate the success of our current shops, we are looking for motivated partners to help us write the next chapter of the Desert Donuts story. If you’re ready to bring a touch of magic and a lot of freshness to your community, the fryer is ready for you!

Why Invest in the Magic? 🍩✨

When you join the Desert Donuts family, you aren’t just opening a bakery; you’re becoming part of a brand that has redefined the donut experience.

Franchise FAQ

What makes Desert Donuts different from a traditional donut shop?

Most shops bake at 3:00 AM and sell cold donuts from a display case. At Desert Donuts, we have no display cases. Every donut is cooked fresh the moment the customer orders it. This provides a "wow" factor for the guest and ensures the highest quality product every single time.

How do the book and mascots help my business?

Dottie and Chip are more than just logos; they are characters that children love. Having a published book attached to your franchise creates immediate brand trust, provides an additional retail item, and makes your shop a destination for school field trips and storytime events.

What kind of locations are you looking for?

We look for vibrant, family-centric communities similar to our successful spots in Phoenix, Greenwood Village, and Highlands Ranch. We prefer high-visibility retail spaces where the smell of fresh donuts can draw in the neighborhood!
