DonutNV Franchising Surpasses 140 Locations Nationwide as Mobile Food Concept Gains Momentum in Franchise Sector

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / December 9, 2025 /DonutNV Franchising Inc announced this week it has expanded to more than 140 franchise locations across 25 states, marking significant growth for the mobile mini donut and fresh-squeezed lemonade concept that started as a single mall kiosk just over a decade ago. The expansion comes as the mobile food industry continues to outpace traditional brick-and-mortar restaurant growth, with mobile food services projected to reach $1.2 billion by 2028 according to recent market analysis.

From Mall Kiosk to Multi-State Operation

The company 's growth trajectory reflects broader shifts in consumer preferences toward experiential dining. Co-Founders Amanda and Alex Gingold launched the concept in 2014 after stumbling across used donut equipment while exploring various food business opportunities. They 'd been working in corporate America and wanted something different.

"We 're entering our next phase of strategic growth with strong momentum, " said Amanda Gingold, President of DonutNV Franchising. "Our customers are drawn to the interactive experience - watching their donuts being made fresh while their lemonade gets squeezed right in front of them. This experiential element is what sets us apart and drives our continued expansion. "

The company began franchising in 2019 after operating four mobile units themselves. Industry data from the International Franchise Association shows food franchises grew 3.2% in 2024, but mobile concepts specifically have seen even stronger expansion as entrepreneurs seek lower overhead alternatives to traditional restaurants.

Strategic Vertical Integration Sets DonutNV Apart

DonutNV has taken a distinctive approach for a franchise system by vertically integrating key parts of their supply chain. The company now manufactures its own trailers, operates its own logistics division for product distribution, and recently brought franchise sales in-house.

"Our vertical integration model directly addresses what franchisees need for long-term success, " Gingold explained. "Traditional franchise models rely on third-party suppliers and manufacturers, which can create friction. We 've eliminated those pain points by controlling the entire process from trailer manufacturing to product delivery. "

According to research from Franchise Business Review, franchisee satisfaction correlates strongly with ongoing support quality. DonutNV 's model - where they manufacture the trailers, supply the products, and maintain direct relationships - delivers comprehensive support that drives franchisee success.

The company 's expansion also includes growing partnerships with youth entrepreneurship programs. DonutNV is actively developing relationships with national organizations, including an upcoming November event with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee featuring Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame player Donald Driver. The event aims to raise $100,000 for the local Daniels Mardak Boys and Girls Club while promoting entrepreneurship among young people.

Market Positioning and Industry Recognition

DonutNV has received significant industry recognition in 2025. Entrepreneur Magazine featured the company in multiple publications this year, including their "10 Hottest Trends for 2025, " "Fastest Growing Franchises of 2025, " and "Top Food Franchises of 2025 " lists. The company also appeared on Entrepreneur 's Franchise 500 rankings in both 2023 and 2024.

The company 's strategic positioning as "party experts " rather than just food vendors represents a deliberate focus on the high-value events market - weddings, birthday parties, corporate gatherings - where experiential dining commands premium pricing.

Market analysis confirms this strategy aligns with consumer trends. Food service research indicates experiential dining experiences command premium pricing, particularly when entertainment value is integrated with food service.

The company operates its own trucks in the greater Philadelphia area where it started, which Gingold says keeps leadership connected to operational realities and ensures the franchise system continues to evolve based on real-world experience.

Looking Ahead: International Expansion and Community Partnerships

DonutNV executives are actively exploring international expansion opportunities while continuing to build their US footprint. The focus on youth entrepreneurship programs represents a comprehensive brand building strategy that extends the company 's impact beyond traditional franchise development.

"Our vertically integrated approach has proven successful over the past few years, and the market has responded enthusiastically, " said Kristen Seitz, Senior Vice President at DonutNV. "Franchisees are achieving strong results because our model delivers comprehensive support at every level - from manufacturing to logistics to ongoing operational guidance. "

Industry forecasts from IBISWorld project continued growth in mobile food services through 2026, driven partly by lower startup costs compared to restaurants and flexibility in location strategy.

The company 's vertically integrated model - manufacturing trailers, managing logistics, and maintaining direct franchisee relationships - delivers better outcomes for franchise partners by controlling the entire value chain. The strategy has proven effective as the system expands, with early growth numbers demonstrating strong resonance with entrepreneurs seeking mobile food opportunities.

DonutNV 's expansion to over 140 locations establishes it as a leader in the mobile dessert franchise space. The company continues adding new markets across the United States while preparing for international development.
