    Houston's favorite doughnut shop rolls out sweet new headquarters in familiar space

    Houston's favorite doughnut shop will soon have a new corporate home. Shipley Do-Nuts will relocate to an all-new, 60,000-square-foot corporate headquarters at Cullen Boulevard and the Gulf Freeway.

    Located on the site of the former Finger Furniture flagship store — also home to the stadium for the Buffaloes, a minor league baseball team that operated from 1928-61 — the new facility will replace Shipley's existing headquarters on N. Main St. Named for L.W. "Bud" Shipley Jr., the two-story building will centralize making doughs that supply the company's 300-plus locations as well as provide office space for 130 employees.

    The facility will also be home to a flagship doughnut shop with an interior drive-thru that will provide customers will a behind-the-scene's look at the facility's operations. Customers will be able to watch doughs being made while they wait for their apple fritters, sausage-and-cheese kolaches, and, of course classic plain glazed doughnuts.

    "Bud Shipley was the visionary behind the company's initial growth, and it's only fitting that our new support center, which we're building to accommodate our growing company, be named after him," said Shipley Do-Nuts CEO Clifton Rutledge. "I can think of no better way to celebrate our birthday than by breaking ground on our headquarters for our next 85 years."

    Austin-based private equity firm Peak Rock Capital purchased the company from the Shipley family earlier this year.

    Shipley is recruiting new franchisees to help it realize its goal of opening 300 additional locations across Texas and the Southeast over the next five years.

    Houston architect's marvelous modern home hits the market for $6.75 million

    311 Brown Saddle St is on the market for $6.75 million.

    There’s a spot in Tanglewood, just north of Woodway Drive, where indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly. It’s 311 Brown Saddle St., a six-bedroom, five-bath home that’s on the market for $6.75 million and represented by Walter Bering of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty.

    The home, presented as a thoughtful collaboration between owner and architect, Mauricio Vela, and Sims Luxury Builders, is designed for both grand entertaining and intimate family living.

    Unfolding across more than 9,200 square feet, 311 Brown Saddle St. has light-filled interiors, soaring ceilings, and clean architectural lines that define the home’s open floor plan. Beginning with the dramatic entry to the living room, with its eye-catching, floating staircase and sweeping views, it’s obvious that this home was created to blend stunning details with elegant living.

    The bespoke Eggersmann kitchen features Miele appliances, Italian ceramic floors, and a large island. All of it is sleekly designed, with blonde wood accents and clean lines. A glass-enclosed wine room nestled by the floating staircase is one of many first-floor focal points.

    The first floor is also where the home’s primary suite is located. A true owner’s oasis, it offers serene backyard views, a giant closet, and a spa-like bath. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms and a light-filled family room provide comfort and style.

    The home also features two studies, an elevator, and a large, air-conditioned attic with ample storage space.

    Indoor and outdoor spaces blend seamlessly here. Located next to the living room and breakfast area, the patio features a summer kitchen, fireplace, and artfully lit surroundings. The space is anchored by a blue pool and spa. Mature trees and green lawns complete the feeling of seclusion.

    Located near some of Houston’s major employment and entertainment hubs, this home will appeal to a wealthy family looking for modern living and a little extra privacy.
