In reply to the discussion: We know about the soda - pop divide, but is there a donut divide out there, too? [View all]kentauros
(29,414 posts)32. In Texas, Shipley's is King of the Do-Nuts.
krispy kreme locations exploded across the area when they exploded across the rest of the country. And just as quickly imploded in Texas.
I know people that loved them, but they were just too sweet! That's why I prefer Shipley's (and sometimes a local "gourmet" donut shop, River Oaks Donuts.)
