A Houston institution

Although franchises have now spread to states other than TX, Shipley Donuts is a Houston institution going back almost 80 years, firstly as a wholesale and then retail operation. Luckily this outlet, always regarded as the best in town, is just up the road on Ella. It has been there since the late 50's or early 60's and as far as I can see has changed little since then. Queues for the drive-thru window regularly block the adjacent junction whilst foot traffic often queues outside the door. What do I have? ALWAYS, hot glazed donuts straight out of the fryer.

 

A quirk. This is the only branch named "Shipley's" with an apostrophe. All others are "Shipley".
