Shipley Do-Nuts is introducing its first-ever nonprofit franchise agreement, partnering with SouthFair Community Development Corporation in South Dallas.
The nonprofit, led by Chief Executive Director Annie Evans, will operate under the name Community Donut Corporation as part of the Malcolm's Point Retail Project, with the location expected to open by the end of 2026.
The partnership marks a first in Shipley's 90-year history. SouthFair will serve as the landlord, tenant and franchise owner, creating a model that reinvests a portion of the business's success back into the surrounding community.
