Shipley Do-Nuts opened its first Bastrop location Sept. 24, according to a company representative.
How we got here
Owner Sam Chen previously told Community Impact that he spent five years searching in Bastrop before he found the perfect spot.
The 1,660-square-foot shop along Hwy. 71 near Walmart, he emphasized, is prime real estate for doughnut enthusiasts.
“I used to live in the area, and I love the area, which is why we’ve been trying to open a store over here,” Chen said. “It’s a completely different environment than Austin.”
