Donut chain to make Florida debut in region

MANATEE COUNTY — A national donut chain will make its Florida debut with a store in east Manatee County.

The donut chain, Houston-based Shipley Do-Nuts, will be one part of a 5,104-square-foot building on State Road 70, in a parcel in front of Manatee Technical College and Braden River High School. Another part of the building will be a new restaurant concept Boneyard BBQ, according to a press release.

The property, about a mile west of Interstate 75, will also eventually include a Superior Auto Repair and a Zaxby's, a fast casual chicken-centric chain, according to a statement.
