Want to hear real stories?
We had been living abroad and working in hospitality for several years when we decided that we needed a change. Opening our own La Donuteria shop proved to be the right choice as a courageous first step into business ownership.
With a developed product line and brand, once launched, a La Donuteria could immediately compete with existing dessert shops. Regardless, we knew that we had to work smart and provide excellent service to achieve long-term success.

I had worked for many years in the German restaurant industry. When I first tasted a La Donuteria donut, I was floored. I couldn’t stop thinking about it! When I later researched La Donuteria, and realized it was a franchise, I knew that one day I would be a La Donuteria owner in Munich.
With the franchise concept, I didn’t have to go through my own lengthy and expensive research and development phase. Today, our Munich customers love our branch’s unique designs and flavors!

One day, it dawned on me that I no longer wanted to be an employee and needed something different. When I came across La Donuteria as a franchise business, it felt like the perfect fit. I would run my own business with the support of a knowledgeable and experienced partner with an established, well-known brand. My trust of the brand and the La Donuteria team’s professionalism throughout our exchanges made me confident that I was making the right move.
