Dixie Cream Donuts Franchise Opportunities – History

Dixie Cream Donuts was founded in 1929 in Dallas, Texas, as an effort to provide cheat food for patrons during the Great Depression, but has since grown into a nationally known brand, the first to develop a donut mix that only requires adding water and yeast, giving Dixie Cream a sizeable advantage over competitors still combining separate ingredients. At its peak, Dixie Cream had 400 stores nationwide. In 2006, franchising company Beautiful Brands International partnered with Dixie Cream Donuts, spurring fast growth across the country.
