They’re going to cut costs so hard they’ll cut the hole out of the donut to save a buck.

So from one private equity firm to another?

So far from upper east Tennessee where the family lived before they became small businessmen, soon to become larger businesses.

Our Alexandria locations are basically inedible, so getting worse will be tough

It was already owned by a PE firm.

They’ll end up being a shell of their former selves just like whataburger.

My local one has gone to shite over the last 10 years or so. It used to be incredibly reliable for years. Now it tastes slightly off.

Time to run it into the ground and out of business. This won’t end well.

Shipley’s and Mary Lee’s donuts are American treasures. Often overlooked culinary delights of Louisiana

Shipley's is honestly terrible.
They are the only place that doesn't warm their donuts.
If you don't get there when they have fresh ones, you get cold donuts
