Shipley Do-Nuts is on track to add six locations over the next few months in its hometown of Houston and 18 overall across several states, CEO Clifton Rutledge said in a company press release.

"This is a dynamic time for the brand as we ramp up on growth and reinvest in our infrastructure and growing team," Rutledge said. "Our goal is to double in size in the next five years, and we'll get there with the help of our longtime Shipley franchisees who are growing with us, along with brand newcomers who see the incredible potential and opportunity that Shipley offers."

The openings will bring the brand's footprint to nearly 340 with a mix of new and longtime franchisees driving growth. They include:

• New Shipley franchisee Global Fuels opened its first shop at 2520 F.M. 1488 in Conroe on Sept. 13, with plans to open three in the next year.
• Longtime franchisee Andy Chang, who joined Shipley 30 years ago and operates five Shipley Do-Nuts locations, opened his latest on Oct. 4 at 4489 W. Davis St., in Conroe.
• Franchisees Carolyn and Phalyn Pao, who own five Shipley locations, celebrated the opening of their sixth Shipley Do-Nuts at 3607 S. Main, Ste. 100 in Stafford, on Oct. 5.
• Lianne Chang will open a Spring location, her 10th, at 9116 N. Grand Parkway later this month.
• Sopheap Chem is adding her third shop later this fall in Bay City at 1916 Avenue F.
• Charlie Dahu will open a Wallisville location at 15257 Wallisville Road, the second of three planned Shipley Do-Nuts locations for Dahu, later this fall.

Lastly, the relocated Humble Shipley Do-Nuts is opening this month at 19399 Highway 59 N.
