Niky's Mini Donuts
Made-to-order mini donuts combined with premium ice cream, candy, coffee, and signature beverages.
Overview
Niky's Mini Donuts is a family-owned Texas concept that combines made-to-order mini donuts with premium ice cream served in homemade waffle cones, a candy shop, coffee, and specialty drinks.
The brand operates in the Houston area. Its most recent public website listed a shop in Tomball, Texas, and said the company is expanding across Texas through franchising.
The franchise pitch centers on having several product lines under one roof. Ice cream, milkshakes, candy, and coffee are presented as ways to spread sales across the year instead of relying on donuts alone.
