The Donut Experiment is a fun to own, Semi-Absentee (part-time) franchise. Founded in 2012, The Donut Experiment is a boutique-style shop where the donuts are made right in front of the customers, or for catering events, where the customers pick what goes on their donuts.

At The Donut Experiment, every donut is a creation! We start with a delicious, fresh-made cake donut and then customers pick from our huge selection of icings and toppings. Donuts can be as simple as plain or glazed or as crazy as key lime, maple bacon or Sriracha. The Donut Experiment is the ultimate donut experience that allows customers to be creative with their donuts.

We also offer catering services for birthdays, weddings, corporate events, and more! Our catering packages are standardized for orders up to 100 people, but catering packages can be customized for any event.
