“This is a dynamic time for the brand as we ramp up on growth and reinvest in our infrastructure and growing team,” said Clifton Rutledge, Shipley Do-Nuts CEO. “Our goal is to double in size in the next five years, and we’ll get there with the help of our longtime Shipley franchisees who are growing with us, along with brand newcomers who see the incredible potential and opportunity that Shipley offers.”
