About Donut Holdings, Inc.
Donut Holdings, Inc., operating as LaMar's Donuts and Coffee, is a renowned doughnut and coffee chain with a rich history and a commitment to quality. Founded in 1960 by Ray LaMar in Kansas City, Missouri, the first location was in a converted gas station on Linwood Blvd. The shop quickly became a local favorite, with lines forming before 6 a.m. and over 11,000 doughnuts sold daily.
In 1990, Ray and his wife Shannon franchised LaMar's Donuts due to its growing popularity. Today, the company operates approximately 30 locations across nearly 10 states, including Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.
LaMar's Donuts offers a diverse menu featuring a variety of raised and cake doughnuts. Their signature Ray's Original Glazed is a standout. Other popular items include bizmarks, fritters, knots, the LaMar's Bar (a giant eclair), and Dazbog coffees. The company is known for its commitment to freshness and quality, using the finest ingredients for each item.
