About Dum Dum

Dum Dums created the world’s first artisan baked doughnut and is now looking for franchise partners to secure territories in the UK. Made with only natural ingredients and yet uncompromising on irresistible deliciousness, Dum Dum Donuts offers beautifully baked (not fried) handmade doughnuts to a growing legion of our loyal fans across the UK.

We use the very best in cooking technology to control ingredients rather than the method of simply submerging the product in oil. Dum Dum Donuts are significantly lower in fat (half the fat in some instances) than our competitors thanks to our traditional patisserie-based baking process – so unique that it is patented in Europe and the US.

What’s different about Dum Dum Donuts is that they have taken a traditional market and applied a modern twist, a new look with flavour options and trends that pique the imagination of a loyal and growing Dum Dum fan base. In addition to all this, Dum Dum Donuts is training high-end coffee roasters ready to support franchisees with franchise roll-outs across the UK.

The Operating Model

The operating model is simple, a small A1 unit, a high footfall location, donuts delivered fresh every day and stored at ambient room temperature. Display is extremely important as seeing is believing. All you need then is great staff who can serve the customers. Complimentary sales include Volcano Coffee, cold drinks, milkshakes and ice cream.

Locations

The available locations are coming in fast, from carts in Tube stations to kiosks in malls, outside cabins and traditional stores.

Return on Investment

The returns are sweet with no VAT on doughnuts, a low-cost staffing model, small footprint opportunities, a low-cost start-up and a loyal customer base who go crazy over our delicious baked doughnuts, a 20% earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation is well within reach.
