Daylight Donuts Columbus, NE

Daylight Donuts Columbus, NE Daylight Donuts - BEST donuts in town!!! The Day’s light donut recipe became Daylight Donuts.

In 1954, Tommy and Lucille Day set out to create a new kind of donut mix — one with a distinctively light texture and flavor. And over the years, their Tulsa-based enterprise grew into a worldwide network of independently owned retail outlets numbering 900 strong… and growing. Daylight Donuts History

Timeline.

1954
Tommy and Lucille Day started their Daylight Donut Flour business in Tulsa, Oklah

oma. They produced their famous light donut mix each morning and sold it to shops in the afternoon... most often from the trunk of their car.

1960
By the end of the fifth year, sales had increased so much that two additional employees had to be hired and a 20,000 square foot facility was constructed.

1977
The Days retired, selling their company to Jerry and Linda Hull. The company consisted of 200 shops and a fleet of Daylight Donut trucks were soon added.

2002
John and Sheila Bond purchased the company from the Hulls. The Bonds continue to offer new products and ideas in the now 65,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Today
After celebrating the 50th Anniversary, Daylight is on a record pace with nearly 1,000 retail outlets worldwide.
