‘World’s Greatest Do-Nut’ now being served in Greenwood 

GREENWOOD – Shipley Do-Nuts, makers of gourmet, made-fresh-daily do-nuts for 85 years, has opened its first location in South Carolina at 913 Montague Ave. in Greenwood. 

Owned by longtime Greenwood resident Robert Larkins and family, the new 2,300-square-foot shop offers more than 60 varieties of freshly made do-nuts, including its iconic plain glazed, as well as coffee, kolaches, cinnamon rolls, bear claws, fritters and more.  

The do-nut shop will be open 5 a.m.-7 p.m. daily and can seat approximately 12 guests inside and eight outside on the patio. The space also features a convenient drive-thru, an excellent option for guests looking to satisfy their do-nut cravings on the go. 

“After first tasting a Shipley do-nut while spending time in Nashville, I knew my hometown would enjoy the world’s best do-nuts,” said Robert Larkins.  

Larkins has plans to open several additional Shipley locations throughout South Carolina over the next five years, starting with Spartanburg in 2022. He also owns and operates a local Groucho’s Deli.  

The fast-growing Shipley brand, now with more than 330 locations, has franchise commitments in place to open an additional 300 stores over the next five years in Texas and across the Southeast. Shipley is actively recruiting additional franchisees in all markets, with a focus on increasing its presence in Colorado, Georgia and Oklahoma.
