Our Story

Born From a Sweet Idea. Built Into a National Brand.

What started as Cinnamini Donuts at the Philadelphia Premium Outlets has grown into a nationwide franchise with 140+ locations across 25+ states. DonutNV is more than a donut business - it's an experience people seek out, share online, and book again and again.

Founders Amanda and Alex Gingold built DonutNV on a simple belief: fresh, interactive, fun food wins every time. They spent 12+ years perfecting the model so you don't have to. You get a turnkey system, a beloved brand, and two founders genuinely invested in your success.

Entrepreneur Franchise 500
The total initial investment for a trailer operation ranges from $189,580 to $272,900, which includes your custom trailer, equipment, initial inventory, training, and territory fees. DonutNV charges a flat $750/month royalty, not a percentage of revenue, so your earnings scale while your costs stay predictable.
DonutNV charges a flat $750 per month, period. There's no percentage-of-revenue royalty, which means the more you earn, the more you keep. This structure is rare in franchising and gives owners a clear, predictable cost structure from day one.
DonutNV is one of the most accessible franchise opportunities in the food industry, with a total investment of $189,580 to $272,900 for a fully equipped trailer operation. Unlike brick-and-mortar concepts that can run $500K to over $1M before you serve your first customer, DonutNV's mobile model eliminates the commercial lease, buildout, and large staffing costs that drive up traditional franchise investments. The flat $750/month royalty also keeps your ongoing costs predictable as revenue grows.
Absolutely. Multi-unit ownership is one of the fastest-growing paths in the DonutNV system. Many owners start with one trailer and add a second or third within their first year. Multi-unit incentives are available, and the low overhead per unit makes scaling efficient.
Yes. When you take receipt of your DonutNV trailer, it arrives fully equipped with everything you need to operate: commercial donut production equipment, serving stations, signage, point-of-sale setup, and initial supplies to help you get off the ground with your first few events. There's no sourcing equipment from multiple vendors, no waiting on back-ordered parts, and no guesswork about what you need. Franchisees who have completed training can literally start booking and making money the same week their trailer arrives. That turn-key delivery is one of the reasons the timeline from signing to first event is as short as it is.
Not at all. Most of our owners come from corporate, military, sales, or entrepreneurial backgrounds. Our comprehensive training program covers everything from donut production to event booking and business operations. You'll be fully prepared before you serve your first customer.
DonutNV operates in 25+ states with exclusive protected territories. We're expanding rapidly, and new markets open regularly. Use the territory map on this page or schedule a discovery call to check availability in your area. Popular markets are claimed quickly.
Most franchisees go from signing their agreement to serving their first event in 3 to 6 months. That timeline includes trailer build-out, training at our headquarters in Clermont, FL, and launching your local marketing and booking pipeline.
This is one of the most underestimated challenges in mobile food, and it's one of the biggest reasons the franchise model exists. Permitting requirements vary dramatically, not just by state, but by county and sometimes by individual city or zip code. Some areas require a mobile food vendor permit, a health department inspection, a commissary agreement, a fire safety certificate, and a business tax receipt before you can serve a single donut. Others require ServSafe certification for the owner and food handler cards for every employee. Going independent means researching, applying for, and maintaining all of these yourself, and getting it wrong can mean fines or being shut down mid-event. DonutNV's operations team has navigated permitting in 25+ states and knows the process for each market. During onboarding, we walk you through exactly what your specific location requires, connect you with the right agencies, and help you get compliant before your first booking. It's one of those things that sounds simple until you're three weeks into back-and-forth with a county health office wondering why your application was rejected.
DonutNV isn't just serving donuts. It's serving memories. The trailers are designed to stop people in their tracks: bold, eye-popping colors and a signature viewing window that lets guests watch their mini donuts being made fresh right in front of them. That viewing window is an absolute crowd favorite. Kids press their faces against it, adults pull out their phones to film it, and event planners rebook because of it. The interactive element turns every event into a shareable moment. Guests don't just eat and leave. They watch, they engage, they post it on social media, and they tell their friends. That built-in word-of-mouth flywheel is something a traditional donut shop or food truck simply can't replicate. It's why customers keep rebooking DonutNV for their events.
You get hands-on training at HQ, a proprietary booking platform, ongoing marketing support, an owner community network, and a dedicated franchise development team. DonutNV also provides national brand campaigns, social media assets, and operational playbooks that are continuously updated.
Everything from weddings and corporate events to festivals, school fundraisers, grand openings, birthday parties, and community celebrations. The mobile format means you go where the crowd is, and the interactive mini-donut experience is a hit at virtually every type of gathering.
There's no "typical" week, and that's part of the appeal. Most owners book 3 to 6 events per week depending on their market and season, with weekends being the busiest. A weekday might include responding to booking inquiries, prepping supplies, and doing a corporate lunch event. Weekends are often back-to-back events: a morning farmers market, an afternoon birthday party, and an evening wedding. Between events, you're managing your calendar through DonutNV's booking platform, restocking inventory, and building relationships with local venues and event planners. Many owners describe it as the first business they've run where they actually look forward to the work, because every event is different, and the crowd reaction is immediate.
DonutNV has been recognized in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 and has grown to 140+ units across 25+ states since 2014. The model is designed around low overhead, a flat royalty, and high-margin event-based revenue. Several factors make it attractive: no brick-and-mortar lease, minimal staffing requirements (most owners run events with 1-3 people), and a product that generates strong word-of-mouth rebooking. For specific earnings data, we encourage prospective owners to review Item 19 of our Franchise Disclosure Document during the discovery process, where actual financial performance is presented in full detail.
You absolutely can, and some people do. But here's what 12+ years of building DonutNV has taught us: the truck and the donuts are the easy part. The hard part is everything else. Sourcing reliable equipment, negotiating with trailer manufacturers, developing recipes that hold up at scale, building a booking system, figuring out health department requirements in your county, creating a brand people actually recognize, learning event pricing, building an online presence, and troubleshooting the hundreds of operational problems you won't see coming until you're mid-event on a Saturday. Independent operators spend their first 1-2 years (and often $50K-$100K more than they planned) solving problems that DonutNV already solved a decade ago. Our franchisees get a fully branded trailer manufactured to their local code, a proven production system, a proprietary booking platform that helps you manage incoming leads and your calendar organized, six months of marketing support, a network of 100+ owners sharing playbooks in real time, and a headquarters team that picks up the phone when something goes sideways. We also support franchisees through the local licensing process so they can get up and running with confidence. The franchise model isn't for everyone, but the math on time-to-revenue, failure rate, and total cost almost always favors a proven system over starting from scratch.
Most food franchises require a brick-and-mortar lease, a buildout costing $300K-$1M+, and ongoing royalties of 5-8% of gross sales. DonutNV is fundamentally different in several ways. First, the investment: a DonutNV trailer operation runs $189,580 to $272,900, which is a fraction of what a traditional storefront franchise costs. Second, the royalty: we charge a flat $750/month, not a percentage. A franchise doing $30K/month in revenue at a 6% royalty is paying $1,800/month to their franchisor. At DonutNV, it's $750 regardless of how much you earn. Third, the overhead: no commercial lease, no landlord, no buildout, no large staff. Most DonutNV owners operate with 1-3 employees per event. Fourth, flexibility: you're not locked into one location hoping foot traffic shows up. You go where the demand is, whether that's a wedding venue, a corporate campus, or a community festival. And fifth, the experience factor: DonutNV isn't just selling donuts, it's selling an interactive experience that guests film, share, and rebook. That word-of-mouth flywheel doesn't exist in a traditional donut shop where someone walks in, grabs a bag, and leaves.
Like any business, owning a franchise involves risk, and we believe in being upfront about it. Your revenue depends on how effectively you book and serve events in your market. Seasonality plays a role: outdoor event season is busier in spring and summer in most regions, though holiday events and indoor corporate bookings help balance the calendar. Weather can affect individual events. Building a full calendar takes hustle in the first few months before repeat bookings and referrals kick in. The upfront investment is real money, and results vary by market, effort, and execution. That said, the DonutNV model is designed to mitigate several common franchise risks: no long-term lease, low fixed overhead, a flat royalty that doesn't punish growth, and a support team that helps you navigate the learning curve. We encourage every prospective owner to review our full Franchise Disclosure Document, talk to existing franchisees, and make sure the model fits their goals before signing.
