Donut King

Donut King is Australia’s largest Donut Franchise chain. Were looking for passionate people to join our family!

Donut King has been serving the now World Famous DK Cinnamon Donut for over 30 years, and is now much, much more than simply the World’s most delicious donuts. Since 1981, we’ve been growing steadily – we currently have over 200 stores, internationally and in every Australian state and territory - and we’re still growing.

For most Aussies, at least once in our lives, a trip to Donut King was a reward for giving your Mum and Dad a break and not causing too much chaos during their shopping trip. The Donut King store stood out in the food court, like a giant pink beacon that kids just couldn't resist. The brightly coloured iced donuts, the squishy, creamy delights of the cream and jam donuts, experiencing the magic of the warm cinnamon donuts being created, bouncing along that mini conveyor belt and landing in a delicious carousel of cinnamon and sugar, to be eaten fresh and hot. We've all been there and millions of Aussies have grown up sharing this experience, it’s a place for the young and the young at heart.

Since the beginning, almost 3 decades ago, we’d like to think that Donut King has grown up. Tastes change over time and our tastes have changed too. We still love the old favourites, but we’ve also introduced some changes for the better. Your local DK now stocks a wider range of snack options, including smoothies, soft serve ice cream and milkshakes. You’ll also find some of the best tasting coffees around. If you’re looking for something more substantial, you can’t go past our range of hot dogs or toasties!

Is Donut King the right business for me?

If you are wondering whether you are the right type of person to become a Donut King franchisee, start by asking yourself the following questions:

Do I have good people skills?
Do I really want to take control of my destiny?
Do I have a strong desire to succeed in my own business?
Am I prepared to have daily involvement in my business?
Do I have a positive attitude?
Do I have strong communication skills?
Do I have a genuine interest in people?
Do I have the ability to deliver outstanding customer service?
Am I prepared to learn and to adopt new ideas?

If you can honestly answer ‘YES’ to all of these questions, then you have met the initial criteria of a successful Donut King franchisee.

Since opening our first store, we have been serving fresh hot cinnamon donuts to everyday Australians. The ultimate reward (and break for mum and dad…) during the weekly shopping excursion was a stop at your local Donut King.

We now have 200 stores throughout every Australian state and territory - and we’re still growing. This is because we keep it simple and still offer the old favourites ...AND... we listen to what our people are asking for. We now also stock a wider range of snack options and some of the best tasting coffees around. This makes Donut King the perfect stop for the whole family.

Being part of a franchise system means you have full support of tried and tested existing systems together with guidance to help you get into your own business. We give you the tools to grow and run a robust business.
