Mister Donut Franchise

In 1955, an American named Harry Winokur discovered that people enjoy fresh donuts with their morning coffee. With this idea, he began selling donuts on the street of Boston. Mr. Winokur's products were met with such great demand that he began to deliver his donuts to office workers in Boston's downtown area. Eventually, a business that begun as an ambulant store became a retail store, selling not only the exclusive line of Mr. Winokur's donuts but also a special blend of coffee which was regarded by many as the WORLD'S BEST.

On May 10, 1995, the RAMCAR GROUP OF COMPANIES, one of the largest multinationals in the Philippines and the biggest battery manufacturer in Southeast Asia, acquired the master franchise through its subsidiary, Food Fest, Inc. RAMCAR injected an aggressive management policy and revitalized Mister Donut - Philippines in a bid to attain world class status.

Today, Mister Donut is one of the fastest growing fastfood chains in the country with over 700 outlets which include its innovative tie-ups with 7-Eleven, Shell Select, Petron, and other convenience stores, petroleum outlets, and shipping lines nationwide.
