DonutNV Claimed
DonutNV Franchise For Sale
DonutNV is an interactive, mobile franchise opportunity that is fun to operate and profitable! We serve hot mini donuts, fresh squeezed lemonade and other juices, plus hot and iced coffee, including our signature NVous iced coffee. DonutNV is superior to our competitors in that we offer mobile franchises exclusively via our custom donut trailers. Our turn-key, one of a kind trailers are built from the ground-up and include our exclusive donut machines and LED viewing window. Guests are able to watch not only our donuts being made fresh, but also our citrus being squeezed and the juices and beverages bubbling via our counter-top merchandising. Our proprietary donuts are made to order and have high margins with low waste. This is a sweet franchise opportunity: set your schedule by booking events, flat weekly royalties (no penalty for success!) and minimal labor overhead (on 2-3 people per truck).
When Founders, Alex and Amanda Gingold were looking to escape corporate America, they couldn’t find a business opportunity or franchise that was affordable or that fit their on-the-go lifestyle. So, they built it themselves! DonutNV started as a small mall kiosk in 2014 and grew into the mobile space in 2015. Since then, we haven’t looked back and continue to innovate in the mobile space.
We equate any interaction with our brand to being the “Chick-Fil-A of the mobile donut world.” We provide a premium product paired with a premium experience, from start to finish. We respond to event leads quickly, both day and night. We arrive early to events, giving the event host piece of mind. We provide a premium experience, differentiating ourselves as more than “just another food truck.” We follow up every event with a thank you note, making sure our customers know that their business is appreciated.
The ongoing vision at DonutNV is to build a brand that makes guests say “WOW!” Our concept is designed to be memorable by offering a tasty snack AND a show, with the goal to make everyone’s day sweet at DonutNV!
